title: [Coloscopic characterization of polyposis of the large intestine. Macroscopic aspects and histological correlations].
abstract: On the basis of the usual macroscopic pathological descriptions, the possibility of characterizing endoscopically the various types of polypous proliferations in the large intestine is examined. The endoscopic parameters considered are described together with the histopathological findings incases of polyps observed over a period of 6 months. Comparison between presumed diagnosis formulated at coloscopic examination and final histological diagnosis shows a concordance of 80%. The usefulness of being able to give some indication regarding the type of nature of the polyps as early as endoscopy is stressed.
