Intestinal spirochetosis is a very rare condition and is often known to be associated with immunodeficiency. Although its colonoscopic findings are not specific, its histopathological appearance is quite remarkable. In this case, intestinal spirochetosis with colonic polyp, unrelated to immunodeficiency, was presented.

Keywords: Colon, histology, intestinal diseases, spirochete infections.
