Biopsy and Surgery
We are experiencing great advances in the medical field that help in early diagnosis of rectal cancer that
tend to reduce the patient’s morbidity and mortality, instead early prognosis, screening protocols greatly
improved the overall patient’s well-being. However it should always be taken into account that
pathological biopsies have varying rates of specificity and sensitivity, therefore we should not only rely on
pathological findings solely but patients clinical presentation still remains a gold standard for treatment
setup. We can see from this case that we will not only depend on the preoperative biopsy pathological
results, many cases with repeated multiple biopsies with benign lesions, however post resection pathology
showed adenocarcinoma. Therefore, we should also depend on the clinical symptoms as well as on the
scope finding indicating the ''L'' defined shape obstructing the lumen. In this case study, I will be presenting
a case that was admitted and diagnosed in King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research center that clearly
revealed that biopsy does not always rule out malignancy.
