Inflammatory Cloacogenic Polyp: A Rare Benign Colorectal Polyp.

Inflammatory cloacogenic polyps are a rare kind of benign polyp that is located in the anal transitional zone and rectum. We report the case of a 53-year-old male who underwent a diagnostic colonoscopy for a positive fecal immunochemical test. Two 7 mm polyps were found in the rectum with a pathological diagnosis of inflammatory cloacogenic polyp. The polyp was endoscopically resected. These polyps are associated with chronic inflammatory conditions such as Crohn's disease and colorectal tumors. Because of malignant transformation potential, inflammatory cloacogenic polyps are endoscopically removed.
