Summary

Giant inflammatory polyposis, a rare inflammatory bowel disease manifestation, can recur after surgery. Inflammation at resection margins may predict disease persistence.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Giant inflammatory polyposis is an uncommon manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
  • This condition can present with symptoms mimicking colorectal cancer.

Observation:

  • A unique case of localized diffuse giant inflammatory polyposis in a 58-year-old man is presented.
  • The patient exhibited abdominal pain and rectal bleeding, with colonoscopy revealing a fungating sigmoid colon mass.

Findings:

  • Histology confirmed giant inflammatory polyposis without dysplasia or malignancy, despite initial suspicion of cancer.
  • The patient experienced recurrence seven months post-colectomy, necessitating further surgery.
  • Inflammation at resection margins was identified as a potential predictor of recurrence.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the varied presentations and deceptive features of giant inflammatory polyposis.
  • Early identification and management strategies are crucial for this rare condition.
  • Understanding recurrence predictors like margin inflammation is vital for patient outcomes.
