Abstract
Mucinous adenocarcinoma at the ileostomy stump after 25 yrs following proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis, has been documented rarely. We report a case of ileal adenocarcinoma at the mucocutaneous junction of an ileostomy, after 37 yrs. The incidence of this late complication of surgery for ulcerative colitis is increasing, as reviewed through previous reports.
