OBJECTIVE: To analyse morphological types, location in the large bowel and demographic characteristics of @entity1586 . METHODS: The retrospective descriptive study was conducted at the Department of Pathology, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman, and comprised biopsy specimens of @entity1586 from @entity1 related to a two-year period from 2011 to 2012. Demographic data, types of @entity1127 , anatomical location and grade of @entity1141 were analysed. SPSS 20 was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: There were 160 biopsy specimens from 143 @entity1 . Of the @entity1 , 91(63.6 %) were male and 52(36.4%) were female. The mean age was 55.27+-14.2 years. Of the 160 @entity1127 , 37((23.1%) were in the rectum. The most common type was the @entity6523 in 88(55.0%) cases followed by @entity1127 51(31.9%) and inflammatory @entity1127 21(13.1%). Of the 88 @entity6523 , 23(26%) showed high-grade @entity1141 . CONCLUSIONS: The commonest colon polyp type was @entity6523 . Screening programmes, such as stool occult blood testing and colonoscopies, are recommended.
