Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by focal, transmural inflammation of the intestine. Gynecologic involvement, including rectovaginal fistula formation, is frequent. Case #1. A 53-year-old female with a 30-year history of Crohn's disease and numerous perirectal fistulas developed a foul smelling, purulent drainage from her rectum and a mucopurulent, bloody discharge from her vagina. A lower vaginal lesion biopsy demonstrated a low-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma. Case #2. A 42-year-old female with a 15-year history of Crohn's disease developed drainage from her vagina. Physical examination revealed an enlarging mass involving the posterior wall of the vaginal vault that connected to the anus by a fistula tract. A biopsy revealed mucinous adenocarcinoma.
Malignant transformation of persistent rectovaginal fistulas is a potential complication of Crohn's disease.
克罗恩病是一种慢性炎症性疾病,其特征为肠道的局灶性透壁性炎症。妇科受累情况很常见,包括直肠阴道瘘的形成。病例1:一名53岁女性,有30年克罗恩病病史且有多处直肠周围瘘,出现直肠有恶臭脓性分泌物及阴道有黏液脓性血性分泌物。阴道下段病变活检显示为低级别黏液腺癌。病例2:一名42岁女性,有15年克罗恩病病史,出现阴道分泌物。体格检查发现阴道穹窿后壁有一肿物且不断增大,通过瘘管与肛门相连。活检显示为黏液腺癌。
持续性直肠阴道瘘的恶性转化是克罗恩病的一种潜在并发症。
