Nodular neuronal hyperplasia: a distinct morphologic type of pseudopolyp in inflammatory bowel disease

Arch Pathol Lab Med. 1998 Feb;122(2):194-6.

Abstract

Pseudopolyps constitute a relatively common finding in inflammatory bowel disease and have well-defined microscopic appearances. We report a new, unusual morphologic feature of colonic pseudopolyps in a patient with Crohn's disease, nodular neuronal hyperplasia.
