Colitis cystica profunda, a rare benign colon condition, was diagnosed in two elderly women. One patient also had radio-enteritis, and the other had mucinous adenocarcinoma.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Colitis cystica profunda (CCP) is a rare, benign condition affecting the colon and rectum.
  • Diagnosis often requires differentiating it from more serious pathologies like adenocarcinoma.
  • This case report highlights CCP in two elderly female patients.

Observation:

  • Two female patients, aged 65 and 76, presented with symptoms leading to the diagnosis of CCP.
  • The first patient had a history of radio-enteritis, a known complication of radiation therapy.
  • The second patient was diagnosed with mucinous adenocarcinoma concurrently with CCP.

Findings:

  • The study confirms CCP diagnosis in two elderly women.
  • Co-occurrence of CCP with radio-enteritis and mucinous adenocarcinoma was observed in these cases.

  • This highlights the importance of thorough differential diagnosis in CCP cases.

    • Implications:

    • These cases underscore the need for careful histopathological evaluation to distinguish CCP from malignancy.
    • Understanding the potential co-occurrence of CCP with other gastrointestinal conditions is crucial for patient management.
    • Further research into the etiology and management of CCP, especially in the context of co-morbidities, is warranted.
