N2  - Background and Aims: Removal of polyps detected during colonoscopy and establishment of the pathological diagnosis are recommended because of their potential cancer risk. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence, size and localization of polyps and their histopathological results in patients undergoing colonoscopy for various reasons in our endoscopy unit. Materials and Methods: Colonoscopy reports between November- 2011 and December- 2014 were retrospectively reviewed from the endoscopy archive system in Selcuk University, Endoscopy Unit, Department of Gastroenterology.Polyps were noted according to their localization and histopathologic types. Results: According to the colonoscopy reports, a total of 360 polyps (14.4 %) were detected in 304 patients. 189 of the patients (62.1%) were male and 115 (37.8%) were female and their mean age was 57.4 years. The mean diameter of the polyps was 7 mm. Colonic polyps were most commonly seen in the rectum with 136 (37.7%) polyps. Of the polyps with neoplastic characteristics, 242 (67.2 %) were tubular adenomas, 23 (6.4%) tubulovillous adenomas, and 3 (0.8%) villous adenomas. Conclusions: In this study, the prevalence, localization and histopathological findings of colon polyp types over an approximately three-year period was revealed in patients undergoing colonoscopy for various reasons in our endoscopy unit, our results were found to be similar to those reported in the literature.
