چکیده
Colitis cystica profunda (CCP) is a benign disease characterized by mucin‐filled cysts beneath the muscularis mucosa.[1] CCP can present in a localized form with a polypoid lesion, or as a more diffuse process involving a variable length of the rectal mucosa or colon.[2] Cysts, which may be quite large, are localized to the rectosigmoid region and are usually 6 to 7 cm from the anal verge. CCP has been observed in patients between 30 and 40 years of age.
