AIM To study the biopathologic characteristics of the transitional mucosa (TM) adjacent to rectalcarcinoma and the resecting length of bowel.METHODS Immunohistochemical and mucin histochemical methods were used in 81 cases to observe theexpression of PCNA and the changing regulations of TM adjacent to rectal carcinoma.RESULTS The PCNA expression rate was the highest in cancer and gradually decreased in atypicaldysplasia, TM and normal mucosa (P<0.01). The range of TM adjacent to the mucinous adenocarcinomawas more extensive than that to the papilla adenocarcinoma and the tubular adenocarcinoma (P< 0.01 ). Therange of TM adjacent to the rectal carcinoma in Dukes C stage was more extensive than that in stage A, B(P<0.01, P<0.05).CONCLUSION The TM of rectal carcinoma possesses certain potential of malignancy. The range of TMadjacent to rectal carcinoma is closely related to the pathological type and advancement of rectal carcinoma.
