Abstract

Benign cecal lesions, although not frequently encountered, are often difficult to differentiate from carcinomas. With the general availability of colonoscopy, cecal lesions can be visualized and a biopsy can be done. If the biopsy specimen reveals inflammatory changes only, the patient should be managed nonoperatively and colonoscoped again in four weeks.
