Abstract
The most common cause of pouch dysfunction after ileal pouch-anal anas tomosis is pouchitis. Although low-grade dysplasia in the mucosa of th e pouch has been recently described in the presence of pouchitis, ther e has been no report of carcinoma arising in the pouch itself. We desc ribe a patient who developed a large-cell lymphoma of the ileal pouch after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.
