Abstract
The objective of this study was to demonstrate the existence of colorectal adenomas in India and compare the findings with those reported elsewhere. Seventeen (2.06 percent) adenomas were detected among the 824 colonoscopic examinations conducted from 1978 to 1987. Synchronous malignant tumors were present in 3 (17.6 percent) of the 17 patients. Thus, though adenomas exist in India, they are relatively uncommon to western countries.Keywords
