We report a rare case of long-standing ulcerative colitis in which carcinoma of the colon and biliary cirrhosis developed.<BR>A 29-year-old man with chronic ulcerative colitis was admitted because of acute abdominal pain and severe fullness, requiring urgent surgical treatment. Pathologic examination of the specimen confirmed the presence of an invasive adenocarcinoma of the transverse colon, causing stricture.<BR>The patient subsequenthy underwent elective colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis, but he died of recurrence of the carcinoma after a year. Autopsy showed biliary cirrhosis.<BR>The clinical features of this patient are discussed, with emphasis on the importance of surveillance techniques for detecting early carcinoma of the colon.
