Abstract

Colitis cystica profunda is a benign disease characterized by variably sized mucin-filled cysts beneath the muscularis mucosae. The clinocpathologic features of five patients are described. The accumulated evidence suggests that awareness of this entity both by clinicians and pathologists with help differentiate it from carcinoma and decrease the need for radical surgery.
