Difficulty in diagnosing tubular-villous tumor of the large intestine. A case report

Relevance. Currently, the problem of diagnosing a villous tumor of the rectum remains urgent. Diagnosis of villous tumors of the rectum can be difficult for the following reasons, they often do not show pronounced symptoms in the early stages, for final diagnosis it is necessary to conduct a histological examination, which takes time and may not always be available, it is necessary to distinguish villous tumors from other types of polyps and tumors, which also complicates the process [6]. Statistically, the following data have been obtained: of all neoplasms of the large intestine, the villous tumor occupies a leading place, the incidence of cases is 10–15%, and therefore it is important to develop diagnostic methods with high accuracy, in particular endosonography.[2]. The aim of the study To demonstrate the use of endosonography in the diagnosis of villous tumors of the rectum. Materials and methods: This clinical case demonstrates the successful use of endosonography in the diagnosis of villous tumors of the rectum. Patient C, a 66-year-old woman, was admitted to the hospital complaining of pain during bowel movements, constipation, episodes of blood impurity in the stool, and bloating. Results. Due to the use of endosonography, the accuracy of the diagnosis of villous tumors of the rectum has increased, as well as the amount of time required to detect this pathology has decreased. Conclusion. The conducted study revealed positive aspects in the use of endosonography as a diagnostic procedure for rectal villous tumor.
