Colitis cystica profunda (CCP) is a rare benign rectal condition. MRI imaging effectively identified submucosal cysts, aiding diagnosis and preventing misdiagnosis of rectal cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Colitis cystica profunda (CCP) is an uncommon benign rectal condition.
  • It often presents with symptoms mimicking rectal cancer, necessitating accurate diagnosis.
  • CCP is associated with solitary ulcer and rectal prolapse syndromes.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old male presented with a rectal lesion suggestive of malignancy on endoscopy.
  • Initial diagnostic methods like endoscopy, barium enema, and superficial biopsies were inconclusive.
  • Transrectal ultrasound provided some information on rectal wall layers.

Findings:

  • Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging revealed multiple non-infiltrating submucosal cysts.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of Colitis cystica profunda.

  • This case represents the first reported MRI findings of CCP in the radiology literature.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of CCP is crucial to avoid unnecessary surgical resection for suspected rectal cancer.
    • MR imaging is a valuable tool for diagnosing CCP by visualizing submucosal cysts.
    • This study highlights the utility of MRI in characterizing rare rectal pathologies.
