Immunohistochemical Staining for Disseminated Carcinomatosis of the Bone Marrow in a Patient with Post-Colonoscopy Colorectal Cancer: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The incidence of disseminated carcinomatosis of the bone marrow (DCBM) associated with colorectal cancer is low, but it can rapidly progress and cause even death. A previous study has suggested a relationship between mucin profiles and the prognosis of colorectal cancer. However, there are no reports of mucin staining in cases of DCBM with post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer (PCCRC).

Case presentation

A 58-year-old man who had undergone colonoscopy (CS) 1 year ago complained of fatigue and fever. The man was diagnosed with virus-associated hemophagocytic syndrome and received steroid pulse therapy.
