title: [Results of coloscopic polypectomy in respect of the dignity (author's transl)].
abstract: The commonest type of polyps in the large intestine in our series of 506 polypectomies in 262 patients were adenomas (64%) especially tubular adenomas. Severe epithelial atypia being present in 11% of all adenomas and it was three times more discovered in villous adenomas than in tubular forms and with increasing adenomas size. Because severe epithelial atypia could be observed in polyps with diameters less than 5 mm it should be demanded to remove each polyp for an exact histological examination independent of his size. Single forceps biopsies of polyps do not allow the estimation of their further development in view of malignancy.
