Abstract

Colonscopy performed in five patients because of narrowing of the sigmoid colon with intramural diverticula revealed several bright red, slightly elevated patches. In three patients, some bright red polypoid structures 1 cm in size and hemispherical in shape were also present. On light microscopy the polyps showed the features of transitional mucosa but revealed a different pattern of mucus secretion.
