Abstract
Two cases of tubulovillous adenoma and adjacent colonic mucosa were st udied in which intestinal spirochaetosis had heavily colonized the non -neoplastic but not the neoplastic epithelium. Ultrastructural and his tochemical studies were performed and we postulate that the reason for this disparity is the normal microvillous pattern of the non-neoplast ic epithelium which facilitates colonization by the spirochaetes.
