C. Stamm et al., BENIGN COLONIC ULCERS ASSOCIATED WITH NONSTEROIDAL ANTIINFLAMMATORY DRUG INGESTION, The American journal of gastroenterology, 89(12), 1994, pp. 2230-2233
Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs can be associated with benign colo
nic ulcers. The ulcers are easily diagnosed by colonoscopy, and, if un
complicated, they are best treated by cessation of the nonsteroidal an
tiinflammatory drugs. Benign colonic ulcers should be included in the
differential diagnosis of any patient who presents with gastrointestin
al complaints and is taking nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs.
