[Juvenile polyps in childhood].
61 children, from 12 months to 14 years old with colonic juvenile polyps were studied using double contrast radiology and conventional and fiber optic endoscopy. In all cases the tumor excision was performed without fulguration. 43 polyps were located within the rectal area and 17 in the colon. In one patient 4 polyps were found at different place in the colon. In 90 percent of the cases the symptom was fecal blood loss and spontaneous merging of the tumor across the anus in the remaining 10 percent. Histologic examination showed no atypic cell.
