Summary and Conclusions
The variable appearance of pseudopolyps of the colon in chronic ulcerative colitis has been outlined. A change from one form to another in the life of pseudopolyps is likely to occur.
The need for a thorough study of the usual type of adenomas in different portions of the colon at different stages is stressed, for better evaluation of the development of pseudopolyps.
A hitherto unreported entity, “localized recurrent giant pseudopolyposis,” has been described.
