ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the etiology and clinical characteristics of multiple clustered polyps in the ileocecal region.Methods Nine patients with multiple clustered polyps only in the ileocecal region found from 2017 to 2022 were retrospectively collected,and their etiology and clinical characteristics were analyzed.Results There were 9 patients with multiple clustered polyps in the ileocecal region in this group.There were 7 males and 2 females.The age of onset was 28～73 years old,52(40.0,62.5)years old.There were 8 cases of abdominal discomfort or abdominal pain,4 cases of chronic diarrhea,2 cases of mucous stool and 1 case of dry stool.The number of polyps ranged from 4～17,and the diameter of polyps ranged from 0.2～1.0 cm.Pathological examination showed chronic inflammation of ileocecal mucosa with polyp formation in 8 cases,and canalicular adenoma with mild dysplasia in 1 case.7 cases ate more red meat food or processed products.6 cases had repeat colonoscopy,and 3 cases had recurrence.Conclusion Multiple clustered polyps appearing only in the ileocecal region are a special type of polyps closely related to inflammation,and endoscopic surgery is recommended followed by attention to control inflammation.
