Lymphoma of the pouch after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis: report of a case.
The most common cause of pouch dysfunction after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is pouchitis. Although low-grade dysplasia in the mucosa of the pouch has been recently described in the presence of pouchitis, there has been no report of carcinoma arising in the pouch itself. We describe a patient who developed a large-cell lymphoma of the ileal pouch after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.
