Pseudopolyps are projecting masses of scar tissue that develop from granulation tissue during the healing phase in repeated cycle of ulceration (especially in inflammatory bowel disease). Inflammatory tissue without malignant potential pseudopolyps may according to Joffe (1977) represent either regenerating mucosal islands between areas of ulceration edematous polypoid tags or granulation tissue covered by epithelium.
