Benign lymphoid polyp (localized lymphoid hyperplasia) at the tip of the cecum associated with lymphoid hyperplasia of the appendix.

A case of benign lymphoid polyp (localized lymphoid hyperplasia) manifesting as a sessile polypoid lesion in the tip of the cecum is described. Solitary lymphoid polyps are extremely rare in the proximal part of the large bowel. The polyp was located at the base of the appendix, and microscopically both the polypoid lesion and the appendix revealed lymphoid hyperplasia.
