Patients (18) with stable ulcerative colitis of the entire colon for at least 8 yr were subjected to a biopsy of normal appearing rectal mucosa and followed prospectively over 4 yr for the development of dysplasia or cancer. Goblet cell glycoconjugate structure was examined in the rectal biopsies using fluorescein conjugated lectins. At the beginning of the study, 13 of the 18 patients had abnormalities of goblet cell mucin or cytoplasmic glycoconjugates in the rectal biopsies. Dysplasia subsequently developed in 6 and carcinoma in 1 of these patients. Among the 5 patients with normal lectin binding studies in the initial rectal biopsies, colonic dysplasia has subsequently developed in one. The abnormalities seen in the rectal goblet cells resembled in part those seen in immature and neoplastic colonic cells. The dysplastic tissue all contained the form of mucin which has been found in neoplastic colonic tissues. With chronic ulcerative colitis abnormalities of glycoconjugate structure may be associated with, and may precede, neoplastic events.
