Abstract |
The rectal “inflammatory cloacogenic polyp” is a recognized pathologic entity in adulthood. We report three cases in children aged between 8 and 12 years. This disorder should be included in the differential diagnosis in patients with hematochezia and tenesmus. These polyps are usually located at the anorectal junction and so may be overlooked at colonoscopy unless an endoscopic retroflexion maneuver is performed. (J Pediatr 1997;130:327-9)
