Abstract
A review of current treatment of colonic polyps reveals two schools of thought. Treatment varies depending on whether the polyp is felt to be a benign inflammatory process or part of the family of adenomatous polyps. In 38 children with colonic polyps seen at The Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1949 to 1967, no case of adenomatous polyp was found unassociated with one of the multiple polyposis syndromes. This absence of isolated neoplastic lesions suggests strongly that laparotomy is rarely indicated for colonic polyps in children.
