Abstract
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.
