- Abstract
Melanosis coli is an incidental benign finding characterized by the deposition of dark brown pigment in the colonic mucosa. The cause of this situation is due to long-term laxative use. We report a female patient who underwent surgery for colon adenocarcinoma and diagnosed as melanosis coli during histopathological examination.
