BACKGROUND: Little is known of @entity694 , especially in an Asian population, and their management is controversial. METHODS: A computerized colonoscopy database was analysed and @entity1 with @entity694 were reviewed. RESULTS: There were 16 @entity694 (incidence of 0.15%) in a series of 10658 consecutive colonoscopies. There were seven @entity1 and nine @entity1 , with a mean age of 61.8 years (range: 28-80 years). The size of the @entity362 ranged from 1.5 to 6 cm; all those larger than 3.5 cm were symptomatic (P = 0.05). The most common symptom was mild @entity548 per rectum. Right-sided @entity362 were palpable while left-sided @entity362 presented with obstructive symptoms. Colonoscopic removal by hot biopsy or snare polypectomy was possible where the @entity362 were 2.5 cm and pedunculated. Surgery was performed in six @entity1 (four open, two laparoscopic) for symptoms and to exclude @entity5 . There was no morbidity or mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Small or pedunculated @entity362 may be safely removed colonoscopically and the diagnosis confirmed histologically. @entity362 require surgical resection for relief of symptoms or to exclude @entity5 .
