In rare cases, several filiform polyps form large tumour masses, termed giant filiform polyposis. We present a case of giant obstructing filiform polyposis in a patient without previous evidence of chronic bowel inflammation. The resected ascending colon from a 37\u2010year\u2010old woman was evaluated macroscopically and microscopically, and the presence of gene polymorphisms was studied by means of multiplex capillary electrophoresis single\u2010strand conformation polymorphism assay, DNA sequencing, TaqMan analysis, and restriction enzyme cleavage. The giant filiform polyposis was restricted to a 15 cm segment of the ascending colon, and the remaining colonic mucosa was entirely without inflammatory changes. During the post\u2010operative follow\u2010up period, the patient developed symptoms and signs of distal bowel inflammation. Gene polymorphism studies were inconclusive as to Crohn's disease. In conclusion, we present an unusual pathological entity of giant filiform polyposis, which developed relatively rapidly in a colon without any history or macroscopic changes suggestive of chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Although the patient subsequently developed symptoms in keeping with Crohn's disease, studies of genetic polymorphism were unable to confirm this notion, and colorectal tissue has not been sampled postoperatively for histological evaluation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0643.2007.00811.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,22]],"date-time":"2009-01-22T12:34:52Z","timestamp":1232627692000},"page":"1306-1310","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Rapid tumour\u2010like growth of giant filiform polyposis in a patient without a history of chronic bowel inflammation"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"115","author":[{"given":"BEN","family":"VAINER","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"TINE","family":"JESS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"PAAL SKYTT","family":"ANDERSEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,12,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","first-page":"656","volume-title":"Gastrointestinal Pathology: An Atlas and Text","author":"Fenoglio\u2010Preiser C","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","first-page":"511","article-title":"Inflammatory disorders of the large intestine (Chapter 36)","author":"Day DW","year":"2003","journal-title":"Morson and Dawson's Gastrointestinal Pathology"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0009-9260(77)80038-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1586\/14737159.6.3.345"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/humu.10161"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2350\/10-05-0117.1"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2000-9994"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-1827.2002.01348.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00384-004-0672-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","first-page":"913","article-title":"Single filiform polyp revealed by severe haemorrhage in a patient with normal colon","volume":"30","author":"Macaigne G","year":"2006","journal-title":"Report of a case and review of the literature.
