Yes: "pseudotumors" are the remnants of normal mucosa left behind when active colitis has damaged the colon lining all around. When biopsies are done the pseudotumor looks nearly normal under the microscope and the surrounding areas are severely damaged.

Yes: Normal mucosa protrudes between ulcer areas in ulcerative colitis , which look like polyps really they are not polyps, called pseudo (false ) polyps or tumors.
