Although inflammatory polyposis is one of the common complications in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, it is rare that each poly grows up to more than 1.5 cm. We describe a case of localized giant inflammatory polyposis of the ileocecum associated with Crohn's disease. A 40-year-old man who had been followed for 28 years because of Crohn's disease was hospitalized for right lower abdom...

Introduction: Nasal polyps are benign prolapsed mucosal lesions which commonly arise from the paranasal sinuses and lateral walls of the nose especially the contact areas of osteomeatal complex. Though nasal polyps arising from the nasal septum have been reported, those arising from its anterior part are extremely rare and present a diagnostic dilemma.  Aetiology is multifactorial and is mainl...

In a 50 year old man who complained of cough and sputum, a small endobronchial tumour was found in the left main bronchus and was biopsied via bronchoscopy. The histological diagnosis was inflammatory polyp with marked infiltration of eosinophils. Six years later, the patient developed asthma. At the same time, another polyp was found in the posterior basal bronchus of the right lower lobe. The...

AIM To evaluate the predominant colorectal polyps in the Almadinah region of Saudi Arabia. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this iretrospective study, we analyzed pathology reports of colonoscopies performed in King Fahad Hospital, Madinah, Saudi Arabia during the period 2006 to 2013. Data based on patient age, gender, size, site and type of polyps and the degree of dysplasia were analyzed by softwar...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The frequency of gastric polyps increases with the widespread use of endoscopy for diagnosis and treatment. As gastric polyps can be malignant or premalignant, histopathological evaluation is needed. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and characteristics of gastric polyps in patients undergoing endoscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study consisted of a retros...

Based on clinical and statistical analysis, a study of the leading etiopathogenetic factors in development hyperplastic processes endometrium patients reproductive age was carried out.The aim study: to risk for hyperplasia endometrial polyps women early age.Materials methods. Clinical analysis 120 active with verified atypical hyperproliferative pathology (hyperplasia polyps) included main grou...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory/hyperplastic small-bowel polyps (SBPs) occur either sporadically or in patients with a polyposis syndrome; however, comparison between these two settings of the histological features of SBPs has not been reported and the etiology of sporadic inflammatory/hyperplastic SBPs remains unclear. METHOD Twenty-eight cases of sporadic inflammatory/hyperplastic SBPs and nine cas...

The most usual causes of iron deficiency anemia are related to the digestive disease: acute or chronic blood loss (due to cancer or polyp of colon or stomach, peptic ulcer, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs use, inflammatory bowel disease, vascular lesions) or reduced iron absorption (in celiac disease, small bowel bacterial overgrowth, Whipple’s disease, lymphangiectasia, gastrectomy and ga...

The principal aim of this study is to investigate the scattering coefficient of colorectal polyp tissues using an optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique. It combines the existing scattering coefficient model and spectral domain OCT to achieve method of early diagnosis of colorectal polyp in hospitals. Seventeen patients were studied, and a total of 1456 data points were extracted by curve...

UNLABELLED The etiopathogenesis of eosinophilic nasal polyps is yet to be explained. Eosinophils are key components in the inflammatory infiltrate and are related to the perpetuation of the inflammatory process in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. OBJECTIVE This paper aims to evaluate the in vitro action of mitomycin upon the apoptotic index of nasal polyps. MATERIALS AND METHODS Th...
