First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

Cap polyposis is a rare and benign colorectal disease first described in 1985. It is characterized by multiple inflammatory polyps with a cap of granulation tissue near to the surface. We report the case of a 71-year-old man with cap polyposis who required surgical intervention. A review of literature is given.
