Abstract
A 45-year-old female admitted to our hospital far the purpose of treating colonicpolyp, Barium enema study demonstrated a giant peduneulated polyp in the cecum and theascending colon, and the polyp was 20X1.5cm in size. Colonoscopic examination alsorevealed a giant polyp with an elongated stalk and deep ulceration at the top of the polyp.Endoscopic ultrasonography revealed that the tumor tissue was mainly Iacated in thesubmucosal Iayer. Endoscopic polypectomy was performed, and the polyp was diagnosedhistologically as an inflammatory fibroid polyp. Inflammatory fibroid polyp of the colon is very rare, and the size of the polyp is thelargest in Japanese reported cases. We treated completely by endoscopic po1ypectomy inspite of giant size of the polyp. We evaluated that endoscopic polypectomy is useful fordiagnosing and treating the inflammatory fibroid polyp of the colon.
