When an area of giant pseudopolyp formation resulted in intussusception in a patient with known ulcerative colitis, operative intervention was required. The double contrast barium enema and fiberoptic colonoscopy were valuable complimentary diagnostic techniques in the evaluation of such a patient.

Introduction And Importance: Filiform polyposis, a rare condition also referred to as inflammatory polyposis or pseudopolyposis, is commonly observed in cases of inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. It is generally considered a benign tumour characterised by multiple finger-like projections that are mostly observed in the transverse and descending colon.
Case Presentation: A 69-year-old woman with a history of ulcerative colitis for 18 years who underwent temporary decompression ileostomy for large bowel obstruction at another hospital was referred to our institution for further investigation.

Pseudopolyps are benign lesions without malignant potential and typically do not require biopsy or excision. We describe a 68-year-old man with ulcerative colitis found to have multiple large bridging pseudopolyps. Repeated colonoscopies and extensive biopsies revealed a large ulcerated lesion previously hidden within the pseudopolyps.

Inflammatory pseudopolyps are formed in the regenerative and healing phases of ulcerated epithelium. Giant pseudopolyposis of the colon (pseudopolyp larger than 1.5 cm in size) is a very rare complication of inflammatory bowel disease and it may lead to colonic intussusception or luminal obstruction, but the more important clinical significance is that it can be endoscopically confused with a malignancy, although it is generally regarded as having no malignant potential.
