Case description

A depressed ulcer is observed Proximal extension occurs in approximately one third of patients with distal disease, and regression from pancolitis is also possible The extent of involvement does not necessarily imply severity but does pertain to prognosis (e.g., the risk of cancer) and to treatment selection. The symptoms and course of UC relate to both the extent and the severity of inflammation within the involved segment of colon.
