| lead-pipe colon |
a term applied to the radiologic appearance of a diseased colon which has become shortened, contracted, and rigid owing to inflammatory fibrosis. In such a colon the normal haustral pattern is lost and function may be impaired. This is usually a consequence of chronic ulcerative or granulomatous colitis.
