These findings were not conclusive, however, because spontaneous remission of rectal adenomas after colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis has been described in patients with familial polyposis (2). Gonzaga and co-workers (3) and Wadell and associates (4) have described patients for whom sulindac treatment has led to a decrease in diffuse adenomatous polyps in intact colons. We report our experience with seven patients having diffuse colonic polyposis treated with sulindac. Endogenous prostaglandin generation in the colonic mucosa...References1. WaddellLoughry WR.
