Prolapsed Ano-Rectal Neoplastic Polyps in Elderly Patients: Our Experience
Journal Title: Türk Kolon ve Rektum Hastalıkları Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 28, Issue 4
Abstract
Colorectal adenomas are polyps which originate from the mucosa and exhibit histopathologic neoplastic features. Although they are usually located in the rectosigmoid segment, they also occur commonly throughout the colon. Increasing dysplasia and malignant potential of adenomas are correlated with their size and villous component and with the patient’s age. The prevalence of polyps is variable, and their incidence, size, and degree of dysplasia increase with age. Herein, we present four elderly patients with neoplastic polyps that were prolapsed from the anus, caused clinical symptoms and signs that were mistaken for hemorrhoids, and were treated by transanal excision.
