Chronic Diarrhea Unveiling a Rare Cecal Ganglioneuroma
A 55-year-old male presented to the outpatient department with a 1-year history of intermittent diarrhea.The patient described loose stools occurring three to four times per day, predominantly in the mornings, without nocturnal symptoms.There was no blood or mucus in stools, abdominal pain, fever, weight loss, or history of antibiotic/medication use.The stools were non-oily, not bulky, and not associated with urgency or tenesmus.His medical history was unremarkable.Physical examination was within normal limits.Routine blood investigations, including complete blood count, liver and renal function tests, thyroid profile, and stool analysis, were normal.Given the chronicity of symptoms, a colonoscopy was performed.The colonoscopic examination revealed a single sessile polyp measuring approximately 1.2 cm in the cecum (Fig. 1).No other mucosal abnormalities were noted
