Case description

Chromoendoscopy with indigo carmin. Cap polyposis is characterized by rectosigmoid polyps that have tortuous elongated crypts and are covered by a cap of fibropurulent exudate. The pathogenesis is unknown, but the histology suggests that mucosal prolapse may play a role. The current therapy often used for inflammatory bowel diseases has frequently been ineffective. Overall, infliximab lead to symptomatic improvement and histologic resolution of the polyps.
