Juvenile polyp.
The most frequent clinical presentation of intestinal polyps is painless rectal bleeding. Although colonoscopy is the modality of choice for the diagnosis of intestinal polyps, sonography may be the first diagnostic tool in the evaluation of children with bloody stools. Ultrasonography has the advantage of being safe and noninvasive.
