Adenocarcinoma in a continent colonic urinary reservoir.
We report the first case of an adenocarcinoma developing in a continent ileocolonic urinary reservoir. The tumor presented 7 years after the urinary diversion and more than 6 years after the resection of a Dukes' B lesion of the left colon. This report demonstrates that the colonic segment used for urinary diversion retains its malignant potential and that surveillance pouchoscopy should be performed in these patients.
