A retrospective study of colonic polyps in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
To evaluate and classify polyps from colon in Thai patients, the authors retrospectively analyzed the 776 polyps from 696 subjects in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital during the past five-year period from 1999 to 2003. All colonic polyps were included in the study. There were 461 (59%) male and 315 (410%) female with the mean age of 51 years. Non-neoplastic and neoplastic polyps were documented 50% each. Hyperplastic polyp was the most frequent diagnosis (39%), followed by tubular adenoma (36%). According to neoplastic polyp, 8%, 3%, and 14% cases were identified as high-grade dysplastic change, intramucosal carcinoma, and invasive carcinoma, respectively.
