Abstract
Malakoplakia is a rare disease with undefined etiology that has been almost
exclusively reported in urology and pathology journals. We are presenting a case
of colonic malakoplakia in an I8-year old young man who was referred to us with
a four-year history of intermittent rectorrhagia. The pathological examination of
the endoscopically resected specimen revealed pathognomonic features of malakoplakia,
von Hansemann cells and Michaelis-Gutmann bodies.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the world. It's survival
expectancy depends on the time of diagnosis, stage and grade of the tumor,
and general condition of the patient. Survival expectancy of this type of cancer
reveals the quality of diagnostic and therapeutic services in the community. To
improve and standardize the treatment modalities in this field, much research has
been conducted worldwide. In this study, patients with a confirmed diagnosis of
colorectal tumors (CRT) who were under treatment or referred to the Oncology
Department of Imam Khomeini Medical, Educational and Research Complex
within the years 1987-1991, were selected.
This study showed that the 5 year survival rate of these patients was maximally
21 %.
