Abstract
Lymphoid polyps (focal lymphoid hyperplasia) of the colon are rare in children. These lesions are benign, but must be differentiated from malignant lymphomas. Grasp biopsies of the lesion are inadequate for this purpose and the polyp should be submitted in toto for pathologic examination. No treatment other than local excision is warranted. Two cases are presented and the literature is reviewed.Entities:
