Anomalous origin of the middle colic artery from the ileocecal artery affecting laparoscopic ascending colon cancer resection

The anomalies of the middle colic artery have rarely been reported and reviewed in literature. However, in case such anomalies are observed in clinical practice, surgery must still be performed safely.

Sumario:The anomalies of the middle colic artery have rarely been reported and reviewed in literature. However, in case such anomalies are observed in clinical practice, surgery must still be performed safely. This report presents the case of a 78-years-old female who underwent ileocecal resection and hepatectomy due to ascending colon cancer with liver metastasis. Preoperative abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed an anomaly of the middle colic artery. Since such anomaly is extremely rare, preoperative evaluation of vascular structure is important for safely performing the surgery.
