Abstract

A 44-year-old man with ulcerative colitis (UC) was treated with salazosulf apyridine (3g/day) since first being diagnosed 16 years earlier. He had a good clinical course. On routine colonoscopy done in October 21, 2003, multiple round elevated lesions with a smooth surface located in the ascending colon and the hepatic flexure were found . The patient was diagnosed as having pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI).
