Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common gastrointestinal emergency in the neonatal period. NEC causes ulceration of the intestinal mucosa and may lead to perforation or a stricture. To the best of the authors' knowledge intestinal inflammatory polyps after NEC have not been described previously. The authors report on a 17-week-old boy with pseudopolyps at the site of a colonic stricture after NEC.
