Abstract

Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs can be associated with benign colonic ulcers. The ulcers are easily diagnosed by colonoscopy, and, if uncomplicated, they are best treated by cessation of the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Benign colonic ulcers should be included in the differential diagnosis of any patient who presents with gastrointestinal complaints and is taking nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs.
