Introduction.
Ten cases of dome-type adenocarcinoma of the colon have been reported so far.
Most of them were presented as early lesions, with endoscopic and microscopic distinguishing features.
Methods and Results.
A raised plaque was removed from the right colon during colonoscopy in a 56-year-old man.
Histopathological examination showed a cancerized adenoma invading the submucosa with several typical features of dome-type adenocarcinoma, in particular the associated prominent lymphoid tissue.
Immunohistochemistry showed retention of the mismatch repair proteins MLH-1, MSH-2, MLH-6, and PMS-2.
Conclusion.
We report an additional case of dome-type adenocarcinoma of the colon as an early, low-risk, and microsatellite stable tumor, indicating that this particular histotype may deserve specific consideration for both classification and management.
