Methods - Patients of below 18 years of age, diagnosed with polyps by means of colonoscopies at two reference centers of pediatric endoscopy were followed-up between 2002 and 2012. The clinical variables evaluated in this study included: gender, recommendation of colonoscopy, associated signs and symptoms, age of onset of symptoms, age at identification of the polyp, interval of time between the onset of symptoms and the endoscopic diagnosis of colonic polyps, and family history of intestinal polyposis and\/or colorectal cancer. The characteristics of the polyps also included: number, morphological type, histology, and distribution. Polyposis syndromes were also investigated. Results - From the 233 patients submitted to colonoscopies, polyps were found in 74 (31.7%) patients, with a median age of 6.6 years, of which 61% were male. Juvenile polyps were identified in 55 (74%) patients, with 7 (9%) characterized within the criteria for juvenile polyposis. Patients with intestinal polyposis syndromes were diagnosed in 35% of the patients. The most frequent clinical presentation was hematochezia. Abdominal pain with acute episodes of intestinal partial obstruction or intussusception with emergency laparotomy was observed in the majority of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome patients leading to an increased morbidity. Conclusions - Even though juvenile colonic polyps are the most frequent type of diagnosed polyps, the present study identified a significant level of children with polyposis syndromes (35%), associated with a higher morbidity of these individuals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0004-28032015000400010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,30]],"date-time":"2016-01-30T23:29:54Z","timestamp":1454196594000},"page":"303-310","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["CLINICAL, EPIDEMIOLOGIC, AND ENDOSCOPIC PROFILE IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH COLONIC POLYPS IN TWO REFERENCE CENTERS"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Denise O","family":"ANDRADE","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandre Rodrigues","family":"FERREIRA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paulo Fernando S","family":"BITTENCOURT","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniela F P","family":"RIBEIRO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rodrigo Gomes da","family":"SILVA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luiz Ronaldo","family":"ALBERTI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"681","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.2004.04115.x","article-title":"Multicenter experience with upper gastrointestinal polyps in pediatric patients with familial adenomatous polyposis","volume":"99","author":"Attard TM","year":"2004","journal-title":"Am J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Intestinal polyposis associated with mucocutaneous pigmentation","volume":"115","author":"Bartholomew LG","year":"1962","journal-title":"Surg Gynecol Obstet"},{"issue":"6","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"389","DOI":"10.1016\/S0016-5107(86)71917-2","article-title":"Short- and long-term results of colonoscopic polypectomy in children","volume":"32","author":"Bartnik W","year":"1986","journal-title":"Gastrointest Endosc.
