  Fig. 1. (A) Initial sigmoidoscopy revealed mucosal edema, erythema, and exudates. (B) Initial abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) scan showed a mass like lesion at the hepatic flexure (arrow). (C, D) Follow-up colonoscopy revealed a mass-like lesion was observed at the hepatic flexure. (E) Follow-up abdominopelvic CT 3 days later showed the absence of a mass-like lesion at the hepatic flexure.

• 

  Fig. 2. Histologically, the mass at the hepatic flexure was determined to be acute and chronic inflammation with inflamed granulation tissue (hematoxylin & eosin stain, ×100).

• 

  Fig. 3. (A, B) Follow-up colonoscopy 4 months later revealed no lesion at the hepatic flexure and marked improvement of the inflamed mucosal lesions at the rectum.
