    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Pathology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Colitis cystica profunda (CCP) is a rare benign rectal lesion.
    • It is frequently misdiagnosed due to overlapping features with malignant neoplasms.

    Observation:

    • This report details the clinical, pathological, and radiological characteristics of CCP in a 60-year-old female patient.
    • The case highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by this uncommon condition.

    Findings:

    • CCP presents as a submucosal rectal lesion.
    • Accurate differentiation from rectal carcinoma is essential based on integrated clinical, imaging, and histopathological data.

    Implications:

    • Inclusion of CCP in the differential diagnosis for submucosal rectal lesions is recommended.
  • This can prevent misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, such as radical surgery for a benign condition.
