The main cause is acute ischemic colitis resulting from a circulation compromise. Most of the colon cast cases reported were secondary to abdominal aortic aneurysm repairs or colorectal surgery. We report a case of an 80-year-old woman with ischemic colitis who excreted a 20-cm colon cast. In most cases that involve a colon cast containing a muscle layer component, invasive therapy is required owing to colonic obstruction or stenosis. However, in the present case, the colon cast consisted only of a mucosa layer and was not associated with severe stenosis or obstruction; therefore, it was successfully treated by conservative therapy. Histologic examination of the colon segment may be crucial in determining the appropriate treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.9738\/intsurg-d-14-00066.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,8]],"date-time":"2014-12-08T16:00:08Z","timestamp":1418054408000},"page":"500-505","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Passage of a Sigmoid Colon Cast in a Patient With Ischemic Colitis"],"prefix":"10.9738","volume":"99","author":[{"given":"Shinya","family":"Abe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Oncology, The University of Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hironori","family":"Yamaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Oncology, The University of Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Koji","family":"Murono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Oncology, The University of Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takamitsu","family":"Kanazawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Oncology, The University of Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Souichirou","family":"Ishihara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Oncology, The University of Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eiji","family":"Sunami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Oncology, The University of Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toshiaki","family":"Watanabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Oncology, The University of Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"4721","reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"i0020-8868-99-5-500-b01","series-title":"Br J Surg","first-page":"935","article-title":"Passage of a colon \u2018cast' following resection of an abdominal aortic aneurysm [abstract]","volume":"71","author":"Speakman\n              MJ,","year":"1984","unstructured":"Speakman\n              MJ, \n            \n              Turnbull\n              AR. \n          \n          Passage of a colon \u2018cast' following resection of an abdominal aortic aneurysm [abstract].
