Abstract
A case report of colitis cystica profunda is presented. This disease may mimic carcinoma
of the rectum in its presenting signs and symptoms, and, in addition, mucous glands
may be found below the muscularis mucosa on microscopic examination. Although colitis
cystica profunda is a benign disease, it has been confused with carcinoma of the rectum
in the past. The literature is also reviewed.
