Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2020 Dec;112(12):956-957. doi: 10.17235/reed.2020.6986/2020.

Abstract

We report the case of a 76-year-old female who underwent a colonoscopy for post-polypectomy follow-up. A nodular area was found in the proximal rectum that was suggestive of hyperplastic polyps by location and endoscopic appearance. Biopsies were taken due to its slightly atypical characteristics, with a final histological result of lymphoid aggregates.
