Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Pathology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: A polyp is grossly visible tumorous mass protrudes from mucosa or sub mucosa towards the lumen of the gut and classified as neoplastic and non-neoplastic polyps. Polyps need to be excised upon detection during colonoscopy due to risk of malignancy, irrespective of their size. Polyps that develop through ‘adenoma – carcinoma pathway’ are considered neoplastic polyps may progress to invasive carcinoma; detection and removal decrease the morbidity and mortality. Background: Colorectal polyps are precursor lesions of malignancy, early diagnosis and excision upon detection is of importance. Aims and objectives: To study incidence of colorectal polyps, age, sex wise and classification. Material and Methods: Observational and retrospective assessment of pathology reports of 8 years were analysed. Results: Incidences of colorectal polyp cases are in the ratio of 1:7536, colorectal polyps are rarest entity. Neoplastic category of polyps are 66.7%. All cases are in the range of 2 - 11 years of age, maximum cases are in 6-10 years of range. Male: Female gender ratio is 1:1. All cases were presented as bleeding per rectum. Results: All cases are in paediatrics age group, juvenile polyps are most common tumours in colorectal region. In present study the maximum cases are in 6-10 years age group while in Iranian study maximum cases are less than 6 years of age. Male to female ratio was 1.61:1.0 in Iranian study while present Indian study shows 1:1. Conclusion: Polyps must be removed even if asymptomatic because of their probable neoplastic potential.
