Multiple angiomatous proliferations of ileal stoma following campylobacter enteritis

Multiple polypoid sessile tumors arose at the tip of the ileal stoma of a 37-year-old man, who previously underwent proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis. The lesions developed shortly after a well-established gastrointestinal infection withCampylobacter jejuni with mucosal ulceration. The histological and ultrastructural examination showed angiomatous proliferations, reminiscent of pyogenic granuloma. The destruction of the tumors by laser photocoagulation was followed by superficial ulcerations of the mucosa, which healed without scarring. Small recurrences, however, could not be prevented.
