title: Polypoid formations at the anal margin in infants less than two years old.
abstract: Polypoid formations in the anal canal and at the anal margin are sometimes observed in the newborn and in infants less than 2 years old. Unlike hamartomatous polyps, which are commonly reported in infantile proctology, these growths are rare in early childhood. Only by performing a pathological anatomy examination is it possible to determine the nature of the numerous affections encountered to assess prognosis and to decide on suitable therapeutic management.
