title: [Morphological features of cancer in chronic non-specific ulcerative colitis].
abstract: 27 cases of colon carcinoma developing in non-specific ulcerative colitis are studied. High risk of carcinoma diagnosis is shown if the duration of the disease is more than 20 years. The majority of the tumors were moderately differentiated adenocarcinomas originating from zones of growth at the crypt bottoms in the presence of considerable dysplasia.
