Endoscopic detection of a tiny cecal ulcer containing carcinoma in-situ.
A 3-mm cecal ulcer without any adjacent polypoid structure was detected in a 66-year-old asymptomatic man undergoing screening colonoscopy. Biopsies demonstrated carcinoma in-situ. The literature on tiny colonic carcinomas and carcinoma in-situ in the absence of any polyp is reviewed in this article.
