PURPOSE: To determine the relationship between the morphology of colon carcinomas detected with barium enema examination and the cancer stage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinical, radiographic, endoscopic, surgical, and histopathologic findings were retrospectively reviewed in 152 patients with colon cancer detected with barium enema examination during a 2-year period. RESULTS: Eighty-six patients (57%) had lesions in the rectum and sigmoid and descending colon, and 66 (43%) patients had lesions more proximally in the colon. Lesions on the right side of the colon were less likely to cause symptoms than those on the left side. Eighty-one patients (53%) had annular or semiannular lesions, 57 (38%) had polypoid lesions, and 14 (9%) had plaquelike or carpet lesions. Six patients (4%) had Dukes stage A lesions; 84 (55%), Dukes stage B lesions; 42 (28%), Dukes stage C lesions; and 20 (13%), Dukes stage D lesions. CONCLUSION: Annular or semiannular carcinomas had higher rates of serosal invasion and lymph node metastasis than polypoid carcinomas, but the rates of liver metastases were comparable.
