Film 3z
:: || ACR Codes: 7.-1
These residual polyps, which represent a healing response to the colonic inflammation, can usually be distinguished from acute inflammatory polyps in ulcerative colitis by the absence of any background granularity or ulceration. Film .3 and .3Z illustrate several inflammatory polyps (arrows) in the sigmoid colon in a patient with active ulcerative colitis, as evidenced by the diffusely granular and finely ulcerated mucosa. Postinflammatory polyps may be the only radiographic clue to the presence of inflammatory bowel disease. Occasionally, these polyps may become extremely large and mimic carcinoma.
