Case description

Case on Polyposis of the Rectum. This mass located in the first rectal valve, has the image of adenocarcinoma but the biopsies have been negatives. There are several polyps nearby. Until now the multiple biopsies display tubulos-Villous Adenoma. Biopsies of polyps to assess for malignant foci are inadequate. Only complete excision permits accurate histological diagnosis. As a result, polypectomy should be considered as primarily a diagnostic procedure until histology confirms that the polyp has been completely removed.
