Thirty cases of posterior pharyngeal wall carcinoma (seen in the Emory University system between 1977 and 1982) are reviewed. The study was implemented to resolve the question, “Which therapeutic alternative is preferred for the treatment of the lesion—radiation or therapy?” From our clinical experience, a treatment plan of primary surgery with postoperative radiation appears to be preferred over a treatment plan of radiation for cure with surgery held for salvage. A current review of the literature on the treatment of posterior wall carcinoma will be presented along with a review of our series.

After ileal pouch anal anastomosis, one of the frequently encountered complications is polyposis of the pouch. We describe a case of proximal neoterminal ileal polyposis associated with deep ulceration suggestive of Crohn’s disease and review the available literature. A 36-year-old male presented with resistant pouchitis 11 years after surgery for ulcerative colitis. With all-negative initial workup, pouchoscopy showed multiple deep ulcers in the proximal ileum with some polyps. Biopsy of polyps showed inflammatory polyps with negative immunohistological staining for IgG pouchitis. With no treatable etiology for pouchitis and the presence of inflammatory polyps, there are no guidelines for surveillance of this condition. Definitive diagnosis is challenging and there is no consensus or recommended guidelines on the management.
