S1978 A Rare Case of Leflunomide-Induced Colitis: Clinical, Endoscopic and Microscopic Findings

Abstract

some rare cases abscess formation has also been associated with colon cancer in up to 0.3 to 4% of patients that can lead to even more diagnostic challenges. In these situations, reviewing the imaging with your Radiologist might be helpful to further strengthen your diagnosis and to possibly avoid a colonoscopy that can have an increased risk of perforation in acute diverticulitis.[1976] Figure 1.
