Juvenile polyp of the large intestine is the most common polyp among children and has no malignant potential. We experienced a case of 3-year old male who presented with rectal bleeding and polyp. The polyp was spontaneously resected and the size was 35 50 10 mm. Pathologically, the polyp was consistent with juvenile polyp of the rectum.
