Description
The authors report a rare double surgery in a case report from 2026. A 65-year-old man had cancer of the sigmoid colon that a scope could not reach, plus a tumor on his left adrenal gland. Tests showed the gland tumor was a pheochromocytoma, a growth that can release stress hormones, not the spread of colon cancer first suspected.
To cut total surgical burden, both tumors were removed in one keyhole operation through six small ports. The shared field made the joint approach workable. A bowel blockage from adhesions followed but cleared with rest, and he went home on day nineteen. More cases are needed, the authors note.
