Abstract
Longstanding ulcerative colitis, particularly pancolitis, is associate d with an increased risk of colorectal neoplasia. For this reason surv eillance colonoscopy at regular intervals has been recommended to iden tify early cancers or high grade dysplasia. Three cases are described of patients with ulcerative colitis of greater than 10 years duration who presented with colorectal carcinoma within three years of colonosc opy.
