Abstract:
A series of 241 polyps from 127 patients endoscopically removed during the period from march 1991 through July 1992 at our department were analysed. The following items were studied. 1) Incidence, age, and sex distrlbution of the patients 2) Number of the calonic polyps 3) Histologic classification and polyp size 4) Anatomic distribution and polyp size 5) Gross types and polyp size 6) Hietopathologic types and polyp size In conclusion, colonic diminutive polyps should not be ignored or overlooked clinically. The majority were neoplastic polyps. It is suggested that diminutive polyps should be removed endoscopically if possible
