PARTICULAR ASPECTS OF MALIGNANT COLONIC POLYPOSIS
Abstract:
Colonic polyposis refers to the appearance of small tumour masses that are protrusive in
colonic lumen, generally multiple, without observing any colic segment. Most of them are asymptomatic,
except for some small bleeding, most often occult. We present a patient of 47 years old, diagnosed and
operated for colic multiple polyposis in whom some polyps that were removed degenerated into
malignancy. The study presents the case and the data in the literature, as well as aspects of differential
diagnosis of colic adenomatous polyposis. Patients with a family or personal history of colic polyps
should be carefully monitored by colonoscopy and whenever possible, endoscopic or surgical resection
should be performed.
