Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 12
Abstract
Polyps of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) form a composite group with varied morphology, clinical presentation and course of disease. Although polyps of GIT may occur in any age,they are common in the 6th to 7th decade. They may be seen in oesophagus, stomach and small intestine but are most commonly seen in the colon. They may arise as a result of inflammation, ectopia, hamartomatous or neoplastic proliferation. Aims and objectives: This study aims at studying the polyps and polypoid lesions of gastrointestinal tract, with reference to the incidence, distribution, morphology and their association with cancers in a tertiary care centre of Southern India.Methods:452 specimens of polyps and polypoid lesions were studied with respect to their location, presentation, morphology and association with cancer. Results: Hyperplastic polyps were the commonest type of polyps in the stomach and small intestine, while adenomatous polyps dominated in the colon. The left colon was affected more than the right side. Tubular adenomas were the commonest type. 5 cases of adenomatous polyposis coli and 5 cases of polyps with malignant change were seen. Conclusion:Colorectal tubular adenomatous polyps are the commonest polyps in South India. Cost effective screening techniques are required for early detection of malignant change.
