Abstract
A 73-year old patient with a past history of rectal carcinoma was found to have two sessile villous adenomas of the cecum. Because he refused surgical resection, a course of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy using piroxicam was given, and the villous adenomas regressed within three months. The cecum has remained clear at one year.
