Giant pseudopolyps in XXXX . A nonoperative approach.

@entity1 @entity295 @entity5 @entity189 @entity733 @entity30
Six @entity1 with @entity30 had colonic intraluminal multilobulated masses detected on barium enema. Four had @entity30 and two @entity30 . The mean duration of disease was four and eight tenths years. Three @entity1 underwent surgery and three had colonoscopy with multiple biopsies and cytology. Pseudopolypoid inflammatory tissue was found in each case. One @entity1 died after a prolonged postoperative course due to @entity295 and @entity733 formation. No surgery was performed in three @entity1 and follow-up colonoscopic examinations at four and a half years revealed no change in these findings. The presence of an intraluminal colonic mass in @entity30 may mimic a @entity5 . If surveillance with x-ray, endoscopic biopsies and cytology reveals pseudopolypoid inflammatory tissue then surgery is not mandatory. Pseudopolypoid inflammatory tissue has never been associated with @entity189 .
