“…This figure is close to the mean age reported by Bafandeh et al, 2005 andAlbasri et al, 2014, but it is less than the mean age (60.9 years) of the patients in a study performed by Lowenfels et al, 2011 in the USA. It should be noted that the patients in the latter study were asymptomatic adults, and motivation for colonoscopy was colon cancer screening.…”

“…However, this ratio was reported to be about 2:1 in countries such as Kuwait (Al-Enezi et al, 2010) and Saudi Arabia (Albasri et al, 2014). Also, Hajmanoochehri et al, 2014 reported an M/F ratio of 1.03:1 for colon adenocarcinoma.…”

“…Removal of neoplastic polyps has led to a decrease in the prevalence of colon cancer (Fatemi et al, 2010;Raju et al, 2013). Iran and some other countries in the Middle East are at low risk of colon cancer, but the problem is that diagnosis in this region is with delay (Albasri et al, 2014;Hajmanoochehri et al, 2014).…”

Background: Polyps are common lesions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Colon cancer is mostly a result of progression from polyps. The present study aimed to evaluate demographic, clinical, and histological characteristics of colorectal polyps in Iran, particularly neoplastic and advanced types. Materials and Methods: Over a period of 10 years, specimens of all colorectal polyps obtained from colonoscopy were studied. The variables subjected to statistical analysis were age, sex, and the chief clinical complaint of the patients who underwent colonoscopy, their motivation, and the site, size, and histological types of detected polyps. The level of significance was set at p value <0.05. Results: Data were obtained from a total of 352 patients. No difference was seen between male and female patients regarding histological types. Only in nine patients was screening the reason for colonoscopy. Almost two-thirds (66.2%) of the polyps were neoplastic. Familial polyposis syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease were seen in 4.3% and 3.0% of the patients with neoplastic polyps, respectively. Sites of polyps were the sigmoid, rectum, and descending colon in 40.1%, 34.5%, and 17% of the cases, respectively. The advanced type made up 58.8% of neoplastic polyps. Only 3.6% of the patients undergoing colonoscopy in the study period had biopsied polyps. Discussion: No difference was observed between male and female patients in terms of overall incidence of polyps, histological and anatomical profiles, and mean age distribution. Anatomical and histological profiles agreed with the studies performed in areas with a low risk of colon cancer. The findings show that colonoscopy was not performed when it was necessary. A meaningful increase in the number polyp biopsy cases and a corresponding decrease in polyp size in the last few years of the study can be associated with the presence of more GI specialist clinicians in hospital centers, and this holds out much hope for the further improvement of the situation in the future.

“…The diseases of developed world (neoplastic conditions and IBD) are showing an increase in the incidence and prevalence in the developing countries as well (Molodecky et al, 2012;Adams & Bornemann, 2013;Ponder & Long, 2013). We have already published articles on the colorectal polyps and colorectal cancers in the region of Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah (Albasri et al, 2014a;Albasri et al, 2014b); we are now sharing our work in the benign colorectal diseases.…”

“…Extensive literature search reveal no scientific publication on large bowel diseases from the Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah region of KSA; except for two recent articles on colorectal polyps (Albasri et al, 2014a) and colorectal cancer (Albasri et al, 2014b). Thus our study would be the first of its kind, addressing the spectrum of benign large bowel disease as diagnosed in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, KSA.…”
