Juvenile Polyps -A study on the pathogenesis of juvenile polyps and their relationship to colonic adenoma-

Abstract
|
|
|
Juvenile polyps are relatively common lesions in the gastrointestinal tract as a solitary
lesion. The exact nature of juvenile polyps is unclear, but many authors regard these as
inflammatory lesions or as hamartomas which become secondarily inflamed. Multiple
juvenile polyposis is characterized by a large numbers of these lesions. Although
juvenile polyps are not usually considered to be premalignant lesions, recently the
neoplastic potential of multiple juvenile polyposis has been emphasized.
Two cases of multiple polyposis which have foci of both adenomatous and juvenile
features with associated carcinoma are described. Special review about the pathogenesis
of juvenile polyposis and their relationship to colonic adenoma and adenocarcinoma will
be done.
