Abstract

A 57-year-old patient was operated upon for a colonic stricture that appeared 18 years after removal of a clear-cell carcinoma of the kidney, followed by irradiation therapy. In addition to typical irradiation-induced changes and fibrotic stricture, colitis cystica profunda was discovered. Review of the literature showed no similar case.
