ABSTRACT
A 72-year-old woman with a prior sigmoid resection for colon cancer underwent a right hemicolectomy after a colonoscopy revealed a mass in the hepatic flexure. A preoperative biopsy at colonoscopy showed tubulovillous dysplasia with high-grade neoplasm. The final specimen pathology revealed benign mucosal elements with mucin pools consistent with colitis cystica profunda (CCP). CCP is a benign lesion; no further treatment was necessary after resection. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of CCP in the right colon, presenting atypically in the hepatic flexure. This case report brings to light the difficulty and importance of making an accurate diagnosis of CCP.
