They are thought to develop through pathways similar to those involved in colorectal neoplasia. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of colonic polyps in patients with ampullary adenoma. Methods: This retrospective study included a total of 35 patients with ampullary adenoma diagnosed between 2023 and 2024 and 105 sex-matched controls. Colonoscopic findings of the patient and control groups were compared with respect to polyp prevalence. In addition, the effects of dysplasia grade of the ampullary adenoma and patient age on polyp prevalence were evaluated. Results: The study included 35 patients (57% male) and 105 controls (59% male). The mean age was 67.06 \u00b1 13.32 years in patients and 61.28 \u00b1 8.42 years in controls. Colonic polyps were detected in 13 (57%) patients in the low-grade dysplasia (LGD) group, 6 (66%) patients in the high grade dysplasia (HGD) or adenocarcinoma group, and 54 (51%) patients in the control group (p = 0.02). After adjusting for age, colonic polyps remained significantly more frequent in the adenoma group than in controls (p = 0.05). Polyp prevalence was not associated with dysplasia grade on ampullary biopsy, and no significant differences were observed between groups regarding polyp histopathology, location, or size. Conclusions: In conclusion, our study indicates that colorectal polyp prevalence is increased among patients with ampullary adenomas and that this association may be independent of age as well as dysplasia severity. Therefore, colonoscopic evaluation may be recommended for all patients diagnosed with ampullary adenoma.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15041521","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,16]],"date-time":"2026-02-16T08:38:39Z","timestamp":1771231119000},"page":"1521","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Increased Prevalence of Colonic Polyps in Patients with Ampullary Adenoma or Carcinoma: A Single-Center Retrospective Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4194-7810","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammed Mustafa","family":"\u0130nce","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, University of Health Sciences, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, 06800 Ankara, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00d6yk\u00fc","family":"Tayfur Y\u00fcrekli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Faculty of Medicine, Ankara Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m Beyaz\u0131t University, 06800 Ankara, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdurrahim","family":"Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Faculty of Medicine, Ankara Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m Beyaz\u0131t University, 06800 Ankara, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hayriye","family":"Tatl\u0131 Do\u011fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Ankara Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m Beyaz\u0131t University, 06800 Ankara, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Osman","family":"Ersoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Faculty of Medicine, Ankara Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m Beyaz\u0131t University, 06800 Ankara, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Maselli, R., de Sire, R., Fugazza, A., Spadaccini, M., Colombo, M., Capogreco, A., Beyna, T., and Repici, A.
