Popis: A 61-years-old man was admitted to our hospital because of abdominal pain. Colonoscopy revealed a type 2 tumor in the rectum, which was diagnosed as low differentiated adenocarcinoma. At least 8 abdominal lymph adenopathies were enhanced on contrast-enhanced CT. We diagnosed stage cT3N2H0M0P0, cStage III b. Because of the risk of a poor prognosis, we tried neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the purpose of down staging. A CRT was prevented by Clostridium difficile enteritis, but we completed 80% of the regimen. Laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection was performed after 4 months of chemotherapy. The specimen contained no tumor lesion, and the pathology results were no residue of adenocarcinoma, status postchemoradiation therapy, Grade 3.
