Juvenile polyposis of the colon with atypical adenomatous changes and carcinomain Situ

Report of a case and review of the literature

  • Published:
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum

Abstract

Juvenile polyps are thought to have no malignant potential; however, we report a case of diffuse juvenile polyposis coli in a 19-year-old man where mucosal dysplastic changes ranging from mild dysplasia to carcinomain situ are present. The pathogenetic development of these polyps and their malignant potential are discussed.
