A total of 563 cases were studied. Data related to age, sex, family history, signs and symptoms, the size, location, polyp types and associated lesions were collected and analyzed. <i>Results:<\/i> The mean age of children was 5.66 \u00b1 2.88 years (range 2 months to 17 years), with a male-to-female ratio of 1.61:1.0. The highest incidence was between ages 2 and 10 years (85.1%). Rectal bleeding was the presenting symptom in 78.5% cases. The polyps were solitary in 94% of cases. A majority of polyps (86.3%) were juvenile and 86.7% located in the rectosigmoid area. Three percent of cases had a positive family history. One case of Turcot syndrome was also identified. <i>Conclusion:<\/i> Juvenile polyps remain the most common polyps in Iranian children. Although the presence of a solitary polyp in the rectosigmoid colon is more prevalent, in a significant number of cases they are multiple and located in proximal parts. Polyps must be removed even when asymptomatic because of their probable neoplastic potential.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000163047","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,8]],"date-time":"2008-12-08T13:19:42Z","timestamp":1228742382000},"page":"53-56","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Colorectal Polyps: A Clinical, Endoscopic and Pathologic Study in Iranian Children"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Mohammad Taghi","family":"Haghi Ashtiani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maryam","family":"Monajemzadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Farzaneh","family":"Motamed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hedieh","family":"Moradi Tabriz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Mahjoub","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hamid","family":"Karamian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehri","family":"Najafi Sani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gholam Reza","family":"Khatami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmad","family":"Khodadad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Farahmand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gholam Hossein","family":"Fallahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0022-3468%2892%2990792-6"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00008480-200210000-00003"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fadc.69.1.144"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0022-3476%2889%2980701-2"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1572-0241.1998.176_b.x"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00383-004-1194-7"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2F1097-0142%28196304%2916%3A4%3C468%3A%3AAID-CNCR2820160408%3E3.0.CO%3B2-F"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fadc.66.8.971"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00268-005-0686-5"}],"container-title":["Medical Principles and Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/163047","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/163047","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T01:12:58Z","timestamp":1745457178000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000163047"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,4]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000163047","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1011-7571","1423-0151"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1011-7571","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0151","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,4]]}}}
