Symptoms and treatment of cecal hemangioma

Because the body's structure is very special, tumors growing in different gastrointestinal tracts will produce different symptoms. As we all know, the cecum is a relatively short section of the colon in the human body. However, cecal hemangioma occurring in the cecum is not common. And because the symptoms of cecal hemangioma are similar to those of common hemorrhoids, it is easier to be misdiagnosed.

1. Symptoms of cecal hemangioma

(1) Blood in the stool. It is often the main symptom of rectal cancer.

(2) Anemia.

(3) Upper abdominal discomfort and nausea.

(4) A lump is felt in the abdomen.

(5) Upper or lower abdominal pain.

(6) Frequent unexplained diarrhea.

(7) Constipation and diarrhea occur alternately.

(8) Jam-colored stool. It is often the main symptom of upper colon cancer.

(9) A person whose bowel movements were previously normal and regular may have a change in bowel habits.

(10) There is a feeling of heaviness in the anus, a feeling of tenesmus, and a feeling of incomplete bowel movement.

(11) Pain in the perineum.

Treatment of cecal hemangioma

(1) Right hemicolectomy is suitable for cancers of the cecum, ascending colon, and hepatic flexure of the colon. Resection range: terminal 15-20 cm of ileum, cecum, ascending colon and right half of transverse colon, together with the associated mesentery and lymph nodes. Cancer of the hepatic flexure requires removal of most of the transverse colon and the lymph nodes of the right gastroepiploic artery group. End-to-end or end-to-side anastomosis of the ileum and colon after resection

(2) Left hemicolectomy is suitable for cancers of the descending colon and splenic flexure of the colon. Scope of resection: left half of transverse colon, descending colon, part or all of sigmoid colon, together with its mesentery and lymph nodes. After resection, the colon is anastomosed end to end or the colon to the rectum.

(3) Transverse colectomy is suitable for transverse colon cancer. Resection range: transverse colon and its hepatic flexure and splenic flexure. After resection, end-to-end anastomosis of the ascending and descending colon was performed. If the anastomotic tension is too great, right hemicolectomy and ileocolic anastomosis can be performed.

(4) Radical resection of sigmoid colon cancer. Depending on the specific location of the cancer, in addition to resection of the sigmoid colon, the descending colon or partial rectal resection may be performed. Perform a colocolic or colorectal anastomosis.
