ABSTRACT

Actinic stenosis of the intestine sometimes occurs after the radiotherapy applied to different tumors in the abdominal area or surrounding areas, it affects the colon mucosa and is more frequent in some patients who have been treated with radiotherapy to manage tumors of the pelvic region after many months or even years. Here is a male patient aged 34 years, who developed colon stenosis after 22 years of having been treated with radiation and chemotherapy since he had a Wilms' tumor that required surgical excision.
