Endocervical polyp represents as a benign, exophytic lesion constituted of variable admixture proliferating endocervical glandular epithelium and metaplastic squamous permeated with fibro-vascular core. The commonly encountered is frequently accompanied by chronic inflammation, erosion superficial epithelial surface reactive alterations layering epithelium.

BACKGROUND & AIMS A gradual shift of colorectal adenoma and carcinoma location toward the proximal colon has been recently observed both in the United States and Europe. We aimed to study the polyp and adenoma detection rate in a major endoscopy center of northwestern Romania over a 16-year period, and to characterize the distribution and the pathological features of the removed polyps accordin...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Obesity and diabetes mellitus are associated with an increased incidence of proximal colon cancer. Colonic adenoma that has been reported to be associated with elevated serum insulin levels and subsets of hyperplastic polyps might serve as a precursor of colon cancer. In this study, we sought to determine segment-specific associations between serum insulin levels and the preva...

Nasal polyp is one of the common causes of nasal obstruction. The diagnosis is usually made on clinical ground and rarely needs histological examination. However, when a candidate is selected for the surgical option of polyp removal, there is tendency to send all specimens for routine histological examination. The objective of this study was to assess the necessity of routinely performed histol...

We report a patient with supraclavicular lymph node metastasis from an undetectable adenocarcinoma of the transverse colon, who presented with cough and was diagnosed with typhoid fever, bronchitis as well as liver metastasis. There were an abdominal fullness, weight loss, constipation, pencil-like stool with mucous and blood, low-grade fever, bone ache, and tea-color urine. The first colonosco...

INTRODUCTION Schistosomiasis is a rare disease with a common intestinal involvement. However, colon polyps associated with Schistosoma in the absence of inflammation have rarely been reported, especially in young people; this is the first case with the following presentation. CASE PRESENTATION We describe the case of a 20-year-old Ethiopian woman living in Lebanon who presented with nonspecif...

Background: Mucosal Schwann cell hamartoma is a newly recognized disease entity that describes lesions which share some features but are distinct from schwannomas and neurofibromas. This mesenchymal lesion, consisting of a proliferation of Schwann cells in the lamina propria and a strong positivity for the S-100 protein, should be differentiated from other similar lesions because it exists sole...

Benign polyps of the stomach undergo malignant transformation at a rate correlating to the histological type and size of the proliferative lesion. We report a case of a 50-year-old Caucasian woman, affected by a diffuse gastric polyposis of both hyperplastic and adenomatous type. At endoscopy polyps were more than 1,000, scattered over the entire gastric cavity. The patient underwent total gast...

An 85 year old woman presented with a one month history of change in her bowel habits in the form of alternating diarrhoea and constipation. She also noted some rectal bleeding. Flexible sigmoidoscopy revealed a 1.5 cm polyp 30 cm from the anus. The polyp was removed during the sigmoidoscopy by electrocautery and sent for histological examination. The polyp was a tubular adenoma with mild dyspl...

Colorectal polypectomy is an efficacy method for the prevention of colonrectal cancer, indeed, removing cancer precursor, reduces CRC incidence e mortality [1,2]. Despite proven effectiveness, polyp resection techniques are limited by lack of evidence and are based on expert opinion and uncontrolled observational studies [3-5]. Proper removal of polyp needs not only skillness by experienced end...
