    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Colitis cystica profunda (CCP) is a rare benign colonic condition.
    • Distinguishing CCP from mucus-producing adenocarcinoma is clinically significant.
    • CCP is infrequently documented in surgical literature.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review clinical cases of localized colitis cystica profunda.
    • To evaluate the long-term outcomes and treatment of CCP.
    • To establish optimal therapeutic strategies for CCP.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of patient records at the Mayo Clinic.
    • Inclusion of 66 clinical cases of localized CCP.
    • Histological confirmation in 21 cases and long-term follow-up.

    Main Results:

    • 66 clinical cases of localized CCP were identified.
    • Histological confirmation was obtained in 21 patients.
    • Mean follow-up exceeded 8 years (range: 2 months to 29 years).

    Conclusions:

    • Local excision is the preferred initial therapy for colitis cystica profunda.
    • Long-term follow-up data support the efficacy of local excision.
    • Accurate diagnosis is vital to avoid misclassification with adenocarcinoma.
