Lymphoid Polyp in the Rectum
Abstract
- Lymphoid polyp is a rare disease in the colorectal area. It occurs commonly in the rectum. It is a nonepithelial benign tumor. Because of the benignancy of its nature, it has other names as well, such as benign lymphoma or rectal tonsil. A lymphoid polyp can be differentiated from a malignant lymphoma by the proliferation of normal lymphoid tissue which has a prominent follicular pattern and a clearly defined germinal center. A lymphoid polyp can regress spontaneousely without any treatment. There is no recurrence or malignant transformation. Recently, the authors experienced a case of lymphoid polyp in the rectum. We report a case of lymphoid polyp in the rectum diagnosed by piecemeal polypectomy.
