Abstract:
Pseudopolyposis occurs twice as often in ulcerative colitis as in Crohn's disease. Pseudopolypsis is divided into the followings: localized multiple pseudopolyposis, localized giant pseudopolyposis, generalized pseudopolyposis and long finger-like pseudopolyps. The most serious problem is confusion with carcinoma. Indications for operation are intussusception or obstruction, radiological simulation of carcinoma. The pseudopolyp could be managed by careful follow-up with colonoscopy and multiple biopsies. We report a case of localized giant pseudopolyposis of the cecum associated with Crohn's disease, with review of relevant literature.
