Inguinal Lymph Node Metastasis from a Sigmoid Stomal Cancer: A Case Report.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionInguinal lymph node metastasis from colon adenocarcinoma is extremely rare. Cancer arising from a stoma is relatively rare, and cases with lymph node metastasis including inguinal lymph node metastasis are even rarer. Due to its rarity, there is no established surgical procedure for stomal cancer. Herein, we report a rare case of inguinal lymph node metastasis from a sigmoid stomal cancer, successfully treated by inguinal lymph node dissection. CASE PRESENTATION: An 87-year-old man had undergone abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer when he was aged 28 years. He was referred to our hospital due to complaints of swelling and bleeding from the colostomy. Colonoscopy revealed a hemorrhagic type 2 tumor at the colostomy site. Biopsy revealed a moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. The diagnosis was adenocarcinoma occurring from a sigmoid colostomy. We performed a laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy with D3 lymph node dissection and colostomy reconstruction. The pathological stage was pT2N0M0 (pStage I). Contrast-enhanced CT performed 6 months postoperatively demonstrated enlargement of the previously noted left inguinal lymph node. Left inguinal lymph node dissection was performed because inguinal lymph node metastasis from sigmoid stomal cancer was suspected. Histopathological examination revealed moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. Because the histological features resembled those of the primary stomal cancer, the lesion was diagnosed as inguinal lymph node metastasis from sigmoid stomal cancer. Twenty-two months after the surgery, he has survived without recurrence.
conclusionsThis case represents the first reported case of inguinal lymph node metastasis from a sigmoid stomal cancer without abdominal wall or skin invasion. Altered lymphatic drainage associated with long-standing stoma construction may have contributed to the development of inguinal lymph node metastasis, which might be treated by inguinal lymph node dissection.
