Abstract
|
|
|
Giant cell carcinoma also called as pleomorptic anaplastic carcinoma is rare and
progresses fulminant clinical course. Major diagnostic features are pleomorphic and
bizarre tumor giant cells with abundant foamy cytoplasm, intense neutrophilic infiltration
and leukophagocytosis (emperipolesis) by tumor giant cells.
Primary gains cell carcinoma have been reported in lungs, thyroid, pancreas and
recently in liver, but this carcinoma in colon has not been described, although giant cell
tumor of the bone like neoplasm in colon was reported.
It was suggested that this neoplasm was glandular epithelial origin by many authors
and confirmed by tissue culture.
We have experienced a case of mixed form of primary giant cell carcinoma of colon
in a 51 year old male in the Sung-Sim Hospital, Chung-Ang University.
