Filiform polyposis.

H G Zegel, I Laufer

    Radiology
    |June 1, 1978

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Filiform polyposis, characterized by long, filamentous defects, can develop in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. This finding is a nonspecific result of mucosal inflammation, not a neoplastic condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Filiform polyposis is a rare condition with a distinct radiographic appearance.
    • Previous reports linked filiform polyposis to ulcerative colitis and granulomatous colitis.

    Observation:

    • The study observed filiform polyposis in patients with ulcerative and granulomatous colitis.
    • A solitary filiform polyp was found in a patient with undiagnosed inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Gastric filiform polyps were noted in a patient with Crohn disease.

    Findings:

    • Filiform polyposis is associated with various forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
    • The condition presents as filamentous filling defects on radiographic imaging.
    • It can occur in the colon, stomach, and small bowel.

    Implications:

    • Filiform polyposis is a nonspecific sequela of diffuse mucosal inflammation.
    • It should be differentiated from neoplastic polyposis.
    • Radiographic identification aids in diagnosing IBD-related changes.
