Colon polyps. Endoscope view of the transverse colon (part of the large intestine) showing inflammatory polyps in a patient with ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis is inflammation of the bowel,typically arising in the rectum and often extending to involve part of,or most of,the large intestine. Polyps are a common complication of colitis as they develop as a regenerative response to the inflammation and ulceration of the mucosa. Treatment may require removal of all or part of the colon (colectomy) | |
