Background Osseous metaplasia is considered as a response to insults such as chronic inflammation or mucin extravasation in colorectal polyps. Case report we report two cases of osseous metaplasia in juvenile (retention) polyps as incidental histopathological findings in a case of rectal juvenile polyposis and a patient with solitary rectal juvenile polyp.
