JUVENILE POLYP FROM SYMPTOM TO DIAGNOSIS AND THE ROLE OF ULTRASONOGRAPHY: A CASE REPORT

Year 2020, Volume: 7 Issue: 3, 145 - 148, 31.10.2020

Abstract

Aims: Juvenile polyps are the most common intestinal polyps in children, but they are also found relatively frequently in adults. Although colonoscopy and pathologic examinations are essential for the final diagnosis of juvenile polyps, our aim is to show that ultrasound imaging can also reveal the juvenile polyps. Case Report: In a 21-year-old female patient with painless rectal bleeding and abdominal pain, blood tests showed no signs of anemia or infection, but the fecal occult blood test was found to be positive. Ultrasound imaging prior to colonoscopy revealed the juvenile polyp. The polyp was resected during colonoscopy via hot snare polypectomy and then it was pathologically diagnosed as a juvenile polyp. Conclusion: Ultrasonography is not a very common diagnostic tool for colonic polyps, but it may have the potential of revealing a colonic polyp such as a juvenile polyp. This can ease the process of diagnosis.
