“…11 Other hypothetical explanations for ECP are epithelial downgrowth through ulcerated mucosa, herniation through a weakened muscularis mucosa, re-epithelization of a submucosal abscess, and hemorrhage. 12 Our research of the English-language medical literature revealed only three other children aged between 20 months and 12 years old with ECP (Table 1). Our patient and one other had cystica profunda in the ileum, which led to ileoileal intussusception.…”

Enteritis Cystica Profunda Presenting as Ileoileal Intussusception in a Child: Report of a Case

We report the case of a 3-month-old male infant with small bowel intussusception caused by enteritis cystica profunda (ECP). The baby was admitted because he was refusing to feed, and was passing "red-currant jelly"-like stools. A palpable mass was identified, and abdominal ultrasonography showed a mass with a lumen and lumen appearance. We performed laparotomy and resected the segment of bowel containing the mass. The resected segment had enteritis cystica profunda, which was considered to have precipitated the intussusception. A review of the English medical literature revealed only three other cases of children with similar symptoms in the last 30 years.

“…Although it has been reported to complicate pre-existent and more common inflammatory processes, such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's colitis or radiation-induced colonic mucosa! injury, the documentation is limited (8)(9)(10)(11). In addition to the inflammatory changes in the mucosa in colitis cystica profunda, benign epithelial-lined mucus cysts usually de-velop in the submucosa; these produce polypoid changes or colonic masses.…”

Colitis Cystica Profunda Complicated by Complete Colorectal Obstruction

An unusual presentation of colitis cystica profunda was seen in a 39-year-old male with a complete colonic obstruction due to an intussception with a rectosigmoid inflammatory mass. The patient had apparent antecedent distal ulcerative colitis and management included subtotal colectomy. Removal of the rectosigmoid mass produced a satisfactory clinical result with no colonoscopic or histological evidence of recurrent disease in the subsequent decade. Although rare, this entity should be considered during the evaluation of any inflammatory process involving the distal colon, especially if an inflammatory polypoid colonic mass is present or a mucinous adenocarcinoma is suspected.

Enterocolitis cystica profunda lesions in a patient with unclassified ulcerative enterocolitis

et al. 1994

Enteritis cystica profunda and diffuse colitis cystica profunda are exceedingly rare conditions. We report here the first case in which these two entities are associated in one patient. This 48-year-old woman presented initially with a solitary ulcer of the rectum and developed later deep ileal and colonic ulcerations with intervening normal mucosa, polypoid masses, and a dense fibrosis of the bowel wall. Colon and ileum specimens demonstrated submucosal mucous cysts and occasionally herniation of mucosal epithelium into the submucosa, which led to the diagnosis of enteritis and colitis cystica profunda. The exact nature of the underlying ileocolonic disease, which necessitated colectomy and extensive ileal resection, remained undetermined although an aggravating role of iterative surgical procedures is possible. Enteritis cystica profunda and diffuse colitis cystica profunda therefore seem to share a common pathogeny and have to be considered as lesions complicating an underlying disease rather than specific and autonomic diseases.
