Case description

The findings here are of cap polyposis, a rare condition thought to be related to chronic constipation and straining causing prolapse of mucosa in the rectum and sigmoid. Often mistaken for pseudopolyps, the polyps seen can range from sessile to pedunculated in morphology and can be found anywhere from the rectum to the cecum although the vast majority are found in the rectosigmoid region as in this example.
