https://doi.org/10.15690/pf.v12i3.1360
Abstract
Colon melanosis is a rare pathology which is connected with a long intake of non-steroid anti-inflammatory medicines or purgative drugs containing antraglycozides. Colon melanosis is also detected at liver and pancreas diseases and colon cancer. The disease is rare for children. The article features a clinical observation of a melanosis case in a 15-year-old girl who suffered from constipation and had been taking senna drugs as purgatives without control for 6 months. The diagnosis was founded on the endoscopic image and was confirmed by a histological survey of the colon mucous.
