summary
- A patient is described with prostatic carcinoma unrecognized during life which caused low colonic occlusion. The diagnostic error was due, in part, to a false ne-gative result of microscopic examination of the material obtained during thick--needle transperineal biopsy of the prostate. Attention is called to a possible cau-sative relationship between prostatic biopsy and infiltration of the colonic wiali by the neoplasm. Problems of differential diagnosis of low colonic occlusion caused by neoplasm are discussed.
