title: Lymphoid polyps of the rectum.
abstract: In children lymphoid polyps of the rectum are uncommon benign lesions with a good prognosis following local treatment. We report a girl in whom a cluster of lymphoid polyps occurred 9 months following removal of a single lymphoid polyp. All of the polyps, including the original lesion, displayed a monoclonal nature on immunocytochemical examination.
