Inflammatory pseudopolyp is a benign polypoid lesion usually seen in the context of inflammatory bowel disease.
It is also referred to as inflammatory polyp.
General
- Not a true polyp.
- The label inflammatory pseudopolyp = inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- If there is no history of IBD... reconsider the diagnosis.
Microscopic
Features:
- Polypoid shape.
- Inflammation - esp. neutrophils - key feature.
Negatives:
- No nuclear atypia.
- May have focal nuclear hyperchromasia and nuclear enlargement.
- No dilated glands.

Micro
The sections show a fragment of colorectal mucosa with focal ulceration, acute inflammation and a well-vascularized stroma with plump stromal cells. Occasional stromal cells have nuclear hyperchromasia.
Alternate
The sections show a fragment of tissue with scant benign epithelium, acute and chronic inflammation (neutrophils and plasma cells predominantly), abundant blood vessels with reactive endothelial cells and plump stromal cells. Occasional stromal cells have nuclear hyperchromasia but do not show significant atypia.
