title: [A case of metachronous carcinoma of the colon diagnosed and radical operated with restorative anastomosis after more than 5 years from the first left hemicolectomy].
abstract: The authors described their observation about the female patient with an advanced carcinoma (T4) of the descendent colon where left hemicolectomy was done in the beginning of 1998. The patient is operated again after more than 5 years because of the cancer in the site of the anastomosis. Radical reresection with restorative anasomosis is performed and for this reason the colon is putting via mesenteric radix. The case is analyzed and there are suggestion about is this a local recurrence or "de novo" carcinoma It is important to follow up the patients during lifetime for early uncovering of local recurrence. Endocoloscopy and scener are preferable for this aim.
