Polypoid formations at the anal margin in infants less than two years old.

Polypoid formations in the anal canal and at the anal margin are sometimes observed in the newborn and in infants less than 2 years old. Unlike hamartomatous polyps, which are commonly reported in infantile proctology, these growths are rare in early childhood. Only by performing a pathological anatomy examination is it possible to determine the nature of the numerous affections encountered to assess prognosis and to decide on suitable therapeutic management.
