The polypoid manifestations of the idiopathic inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease) are often confusing. Inflammatory polyps project above the level of the surrounding mucosa. Pseudopolyposis (in ulcerative colitis) or a cobblestone appearance (in Crohn disease) results when extensive ulceration develops and only scattered islands of relatively normal mucosa remain; thus, the ulcerated areas may be falsely perceived as the baseline and the islands as polyps. Postinflammatory (filiform) polyps--fingerlike projections of submucosa covered by mucosa on all sides--reflect healing of undermined mucosal and submucosal remnants and ulcers and are almost always multiple. Patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn disease are at increased risk for developing adenocarcinoma. Occasionally, dysplasia occurs as a polypoid lesion. Dysplasia of the colon (mucosal atypia) is a histologic marker highly associated with adenocarcinoma. Because differentiating adenocarcinoma and dysplasia from inflammatory or postinflammatory polyps is sometimes difficult or impossible, endoscopy and biopsy are usually recommended for definitive diagnosis of suspicious lesions.
