To analyze the clinical and endoscopic characteristics of colorectal polyps in children, and to explore the detection rate, age and gender distribution characteristics, endoscopic treatment effect and follow-up monitoring of colorectal polyps in children, so as to provide reference for disease management of colorectal polyps in children. The clinical and endoscopic characteristics of children with colorectal polyps in Xi 'an Children's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into 5 groups according to age (y): 0t test, Pearson Chi-square test (χ²) were used to compare groups' differences. The results showed that a total of 724 colonoscopies were completed in 2019, and 160 colorectal polyps were diagnosed, with a detection rate of 22.10%. Among the children with colorectal polyps, 105 were males, accounting for 65.62%, and 55 were females, accounting for 34.38%. The detection rate of male colorectal polyps was 22.68%, and the detection rate of female colorectal polyps was 21.08%. There was no significant difference in the detection rate of colorectal polyps between males and females (χ² = 0.25, P =0.617). Children with colorectal polyps were most common in the age group of 1≤ y<4 years, 72 cases, accounting for 41.14%(72/175). The detection rate of colorectal polyps in different age groups was statistically significant (χ²=73.929, P<0.05). The main symptom of children with colorectal polyps was hematochezia, accounting for 87.5% (140/160). Colorectal polyps were mainly single polyps in 140 patients, accounting for 87.50%, 15 patients had 2-4 polyps, accounting for 9.38%, and 5 patients had 5 or more polyps, accounting for 3.12%. A total of 210 polyps were removed, and the most common site of polyps was rectum, 123 polyps, accounting for 58.57% (123/210). 111 (52.86%, 111/210) of them were 1 cm to 2 cm in diameter. The Yamada classification was mainly type Ⅲ, 114 pieces, accounting for 54.29% (114/210). Among the 210 polyps with diameter ≥0.5 cm, 165 were removed by endoscopic mucosal resection, accounting for 78.57% (165/210). There were 23 patients with postoperative complications, including hematochezia, abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and no gastrointestinal perforation. Juvenile polyps were the main pathological type, accounting for 88.13% (141/160). The children with juvenile polyps were followed up for 3-30 months, and recurrence was considered in 2 of them. In conclusion, the detection rate of colorectal polyps in children aged 1≤ y<4 years is high, and hematochezia is the main clinical manifestation. Standardized endoscopic treatment and follow-up monitoring are very important for children with colorectal polyps.

An optimal treatment for cap polyposis has not been established. Several treatment approaches, including anti-inflammatory agents, antibiotics, immunomodulators, and endoscopic therapy have been described. Surgical resection of the affected colon and rectum may be indicated for patients with persistent disease. Repeat surgery is indicated in cases of recurrence after surgery. However, symptomatic polyposis may still recur, and spontaneous resolution of cap polyposis is possible. We report a case of recurrent cap polyposis complicated with retroperitoneal fibrosis after inadequate low anterior resection with a positive resection margin. Surgical approaches for the treatment of cap polyposis should be carefully considered before treatment.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Colorectal adenomas that are > or =10 mm have villous histology or high-grade dysplasia, or that are associated with > or =3 adenomas are considered high-risk for metachronous advanced neoplasia. We evaluated the cumulative incidence of metachronous advanced neoplasia according to the total number of high-risk findings detected on baseline colonoscopy. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study performed in 862 patients who underwent removal of colorectal adenomas between 2005 and 2009. At least one surveillance colonoscopy had been conducted at Konkuk University Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. RESULTS: The cumulative incidence of metachronous advanced neoplasia in patients with 0, 1, 2, and 3-4 high-risk findings at 1 year were 0.7%, 1.3%, 2.8%, and 8.0%; at 3 years, those were 5.9%, 11.9%, 15.5%, and 24.7%; and at 5 years, those were 8.5%, 18.7%, 26.3%, and 37.2%, respectively. In a multivariate model, the risk of metachronous advanced neoplasia was significantly higher for the multiple high-risk findings group when compared with the 0 high-risk findings group (1 high-risk (+): hazard ratio, 1.86 [95% confidence interval, 1.00-3.44]; 2 high-risk (+): 1.84 [0.88-3.84]; and 3-4 high-risk (+): 3.29 [1.54-7.01]; ptrend=0.020). CONCLUSIONS: The presence of overlapping multiple high-risk findings was associated with an increased risk of advanced neoplasia during surveillance.
