There are few descriptions of association between chagasic megacolon and colon cancer. We report a case of obstructive abdomen caused by adenocarcinoma of the left colon in chagasic megacolon. A review of the literature revealed 8 cases of this association and, analyzing together the series of findings of cancer in chagasic organomegalies, we found a frequency of 4.8% in megaesophagus and 0.1% in megacolon.
关于恰加斯病性巨结肠与结肠癌之间关联的描述很少。我们报告一例恰加斯病性巨结肠患者因左半结肠癌导致肠梗阻的病例。文献回顾显示有8例这种关联，综合分析恰加斯病性脏器肿大中癌症的一系列发现，我们发现巨食管中癌症的发生率为4.8%，巨结肠中为0.1%。
