DIFFUSE POLYPOSIS OF LARGE INTESTINE

The article presents a clinical case of diffuse polyposis in the large intestine. The peculiarities of clinical presentation and the stages of diagnosis are described. Colproctectomy with the formation of J-shaped enteric reservoir, ileoanal anastomosis with the creation of loop ileostoma is found to be effective as a surgical treatment of this patient. Bibliographical search as well as our own practical observation showed that diffuse polyposis of the large intestine is a rare disorder with non-specific symptomatology, which is characterized by difficulties in diagnostics. The optimal method of differential diagnosis is colonoscopy with biopsy. Colproctectomy with the formation of J-shaped enteric reservoir is found to be effective as a surgical treatment of total polyposis in the large intestine.
