A Case of Small Cell Carcinoma With Adenocarcinoma Found in a Rectal Fissure
We present the case of a 51-year-old man with a history of pain with bowel movements and recent weight loss. Colonoscopy was performed, which revealed a rectal fissure with a lesion involving the rectum and anal canal. Biopsy of the lesion revealed invasive carcinoma with 2 distinct morphologies, a poorly differentiated small cell component and a minor adenocarcinoma component. We discuss the differential diagnosis of small cell carcinoma that includes mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinomas and other neuroendocrine neoplasms.
