We report the case of a 75-year-old woman, presenting to the emergency department with acute renal failure and electrolyte imbalance, reporting an history of recurrent episodes of dehydration and chronic diarrhea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Case presentation: In this case we describe a 28-year-old female patient suffering from 6 months of secretory diarrhea, presented to our emergency department with severe dehydration, acute renal failure, hyponatremia and hypokalemia. [imedpub.com]
Carcinoma present at or within 1 mm of the surgical margin Usually recognized by cautery Measure from the superficial edge of the cautery where tissue is still recognizable High grade carcinoma (see Grading at left), even if only focal in the lesion [surgpathcriteria.stanford.edu]

Rectal Bleeding
Case Report A 58-year-old woman without previous major diseases starts suffering from evacuatory straining, occasional rectal bleeding and mass sensation 1 year prior to attending to a local ambulatory center. [omicsonline.org]
They also may be involved in abnormal secretory activity associated with diarrhea and electrolyte imbalance, rectal bleeding or obstruction [2, 3 ]. [tropicalgastro.com]
bleeding correlates with size and may be seen in as many as 67% • Imaging • Rate of detection of polyps less than 1 cm is higher with air contrast • Rate of detection of polyps 1cm or greater is about equal with single vs. double contrast • From 1/4 [learningradiology.com]
This is the case of an octogenarian man with a several year history of hemorrhoids and intermittent rectal bleeding, more recently complaining of continuous hematochezia. [wjgnet.com]
Rectal bleeding is usually intermittent, with a small amount of dark blood mixed with the stool. A palpable mass in the left side of the abdomen. [surgwiki.com]

Chronic Diarrhea
We report the case of a 75-year-old woman, presenting to the emergency department with acute renal failure and electrolyte imbalance, reporting an history of recurrent episodes of dehydration and chronic diarrhea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It has been suggested that the triad of prerenal failure, electrolyte disorder and chronic diarrhea should always prompt a complete colonoscopy [ 4 ]. [bmcsurg.biomedcentral.com]

Digital rectal examination is important in order to feel for a rectal mass, its location and relationship to the anal sphincters, its fixity to adjacent structures and to feel for any enlarged extrarectal nodule. [surgwiki.com]

You may be referred to an enterostomal therapist (a health care professional, often a nurse, trained to help people with their colostomies) as part of your initial workup. [healthywomen.org]
Treatment
A prompt diagnosis plays an important role in the treatment of McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As a result the harmony and open communication between these specialties facilitated by a multidisciplinary team approach are crucial in providing the best care to patients and ensuring successful treatment. [books.google.es]
Prognosis
Stage for stage, right-sided colonic cancers tend to have a better prognosis than left-sided cancers. Prognosis Tumour stage is the main determinant ( Table 28, “Prognosis in colorectal cancer” ) of prognosis. [surgwiki.com]
The prognosis of IIIA approaches that of IIB etc. This is not yet in widespread use). The advent of the newer chemotherapy agents has made a significant impact on rectal cancer prognosis. [myvmc.com]
These have a worse prognosis than non-mucinous carsinomas. Photomicrograph of a primary mucinous adenocarcinoma. Click to enlarge. [oncolex.org]
Villous adenomas have a worse prognosis and warrant closer follow-up. One needs only to remember the criteria for tubular adenomas and villous adenomas, as tubulovillous adenomas are what is left over. [librepathology.org]
What is the prognosis of rectal polyps? People with a history of polyps have an increased risk of developing polyps again in their lifetime and should have regular exams by a physician specially trained to treat diseases of the colon and rectum. [annapoliscolon.com]
