Abstract

Cecal Volvulus with Concomitant Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder

Alexandra N. Jones* and Russell Farmer

A cecal bascule is a rare version of an already rare form of intestinal obstruction known as a cecal volvulus and accounts for 0.01% of adult large bowel obstructions. This pathology can arise from both congenital as well as acquired malformations. A concomitant diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder, one of the most uncommon forms of bladder carcinoma, is an even more unlikely event. This case reports a 69-year-old male with a diagnosis of both SCC of the bladder likely precipitating cecal bascule formation. The incidence, treatments, and outcomes for each of these pathologies are discussed to provide an overview of treating patients with two pathologies that are infrequently seen.
