A rare cause of colic polyp in a patient with ischemic colitis

A 50-year-old woman was admitted for a rectal bleeding after an episode of defecation 2 days prior to her admission. The patient had also suffered from lower abdominal pain for 3 days, but did not complain about any other pain. The patient had no personal or familial medical history. The clinical examination only revealed a sensitive abdomen in the left inferior quadrant of the abdomen without defence or rebound. The vital parameters were normal. The blood sample showed the following: haemoglobin 15.2 g/dL (12-16), MCV 105 (85-95), leucocytes 11800/ mm3 (4200-9000) among which 8470/mm3 neutrophils (1900-7000), platelets 225000/mm3 (150000-400000) and CRP 171.5 mg/dL (< 12). We noticed that the haemoglobin had decreased from 15.2 g/dL to 11.6 g/ dL between the emergency and our gastroenterological department.
