title: [Clinico-anatomical study of juvenile polyps in Asturias].
abstract: We have made a multifactorial study relating to the cases of juvenile polyps diagnosed in Asturias from 1977 to 1985. We have valued its histological nature and its evolutive behaviour especially as to what refers to the colonic carcinoma. We have analysed its localization and clinical features and noticed an improvement in diagnostic efficiency according to the broader and better use of endoscopy. We also show the need of a more interventionist attitude as regards to this pathology.
