A high prevalence of neoplastic colorectal polyps has been described in acromegalic patients. The aim of the present report was to confirm the high prevalence of neoplastic colorectal polyps in acromegaly and the existence of special risk factors for this type of polyps among acromegalic patients. A fiberoptic colonoscopy was performed in 27 active acromegalic patients, followed by both polypectomy and biopsy when indicated. Several prognostic variables were analysed a potential risk factors, in all cases. The prevalence of neoplastic colorectal polyps found in our series (22.2%) was similar to that in previous studies, and did not show any apparent increment compared to that in the populations in which it is known. None of the prognostic variables studied were related to the presence of neoplastic colorectal polyps.
肢端肥大症患者中已发现结直肠肿瘤性息肉的高患病率。本报告的目的是确认肢端肥大症患者中结直肠肿瘤性息肉的高患病率以及此类息肉在肢端肥大症患者中的特殊危险因素的存在。对27例活动性肢端肥大症患者进行了纤维结肠镜检查，必要时进行息肉切除术和活检。在所有病例中分析了几个预后变量作为潜在危险因素。我们系列中发现的结直肠肿瘤性息肉患病率（22.2%）与先前研究相似，与已知人群相比没有明显增加。所研究的预后变量均与结直肠肿瘤性息肉的存在无关。
