ASSOCIATION OF CROHN'S DISEASE AND CLOACOGENIC POLYP: ABOUT A NEW CASE REPORT

Cloacogenic inflammatory polyps are a rare and benign form of ano-rectal polyps, first described in 1981 by Lobert and Appelman.[1] They are formed from the epithelial transitional zone at the anorectal junction. They affect the lower rectum and anus, and are characterized by distinct clinical and histopathological features.[2] They can be associated with variety of diseases: haemorrhoidal disease, Crohn's disease, colonic diverticulosis or colorectal adenocarcinoma.[3] We report a new observation of a cloacogenic polyp in a patient with crohn's disease.
