From June 1989, to June 1991, 58 patients with GI polyps were reviewed. Except two patients who had multiple polyps, 56 had only one polyp. The size of polyps were 0.5 to 3 em in diameter. 51 (75%) of polyps were located in the rectosigmoid region, 25 (37%) were in the rectum and 26 (38%) in the sigmoid.

matory lesions in the lower gastrointestinal tract including polyps, masses and ulcers that are characterized by elongated and distorted glands surrounded by proliferation of smooth muscle fibers from the muscularis mucosae. The term “prolapsing mucosal polyp” was first described by Franzin et al in 1985 as a new entity of benign colorectal polyp. They reported that these benign colonic lesions...

Inflammatory fibroid polyps are uncommon but well documented solitary polypoid lesions occurring in gastrointestinal tract; most commonly in stomach followed by ileum and rarely in colon, duodenum and oesophagus. Polyps in ileum most commonly present with acute intestinal obstruction as a result of intussusception. We describe one case of inflammatory fibroid polyps of the small intestine causi...

An 84-year-old woman with advanced pharyngeal cancer underwent colonoscopy for intermittent rectal bleeding in October 2012. Colonoscopy disclosed two red sessile polyps in the rectum (Fig 1). The larger one was spherical with a smooth surface, measuring approximately 15 mm in diameter (Fig 2). Biopsy showed hyperplastic glands and marked proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the lamina propr...

We report a case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with vomiting & severe fatigue. On routine examination show iron deficiency anemia Gastroscopy revealed a large polyp in the antral region causing intermittent gastric outlet obstruction. Histopathologic examination revealed an inflammatory fibroid polyp (known also as Vanek’s tumour). 1 Background: Gastric polyps are usually found incidenta...

Ileostomy polyps are uncommon and poorly described. The aim of this study was to undertake a retrospective clinicopathological review of ileostomy polyps. Seven patients with 60 polyps arising on ileostomies performed for ulcerative colitis were studied. The histopathological evaluation of archival ileostomy biopsy specimens, polypectomy or excision specimens, and clinical review of patient rec...

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic impact of gastrointestinal symptoms (GIS) in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease and polyps detected by colonoscopy.
