  • Title: Filiform polyposis of the colon presenting as massive hemorrhage: an uncommon complication of Crohn's disease.
    Author: Renison DM, Forouhar FA, Levine JB, Breiter JR.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1983 Jul; 78(7):413-6. PubMed ID: 6603162.
    Abstract:
    A case of localized filiform polyposis of the colon is presented. This lesion was part of a more generalized inflammatory bowel disease with clinicopathological features indicative of Crohn's disease. An unusual feature of this case was profuse rectal bleeding, initially from a solitary sigmoid ulcer and later from the area of filiform polyposis. A step by step clinicopathological follow-up emphasizing the development of filiform polyps is provided.
