Abstract

Background: Adenomatous polyps in the colon are recognized precursors of colorectal carcinoma; however, the low incidence of these polyps in sub-Saharan Africans has led many to believe that the pathway of colorectal cancer may differ in this region. The objective of this study was aimed to determine the change in trends of colonic polyps in Nigeria. Methods: This was a 10-year retrospective review of all colonic polyp specimens received at the Department of Pathology in our hospital utilizing the histopathology request cards and hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides. The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics (version 23; IBM Corporation, Armonk, New York, USA). Results: A total of 131 cases were reviewed. The age of patients ranged from 5 to 86 years with a mean age of 55 years. The male-to-female ratio was 1.6:1. The mean age was 59.4 years. Of the 131 cases reviewed, 62 patients had adenomatous polyps, 49 had inflammatory polyps while 20 others included juvenile polyps, hyperplastic polyps, and hamartomatous polyps. Conclusion: Adenomatous polyps are increasingly being seen among Africans in the sub-Sahara region and perhaps they are not as rare as it was once thought provided the facilities for the diagnosis are available. They may yet play a more important role than has been ascribed to them in the pathogenesis of colorectal carcinomas in Africans.
尼日利亚人结肠息肉的趋势变化:一项回顾性单中心临床病理研究
背景:结肠腺瘤性息肉是公认的大肠癌的前兆;然而,这些息肉在撒哈拉以南非洲地区的低发病率使许多人认为该地区结直肠癌的途径可能不同。本研究的目的是确定尼日利亚结肠息肉的变化趋势。方法:采用组织病理学要求卡、苏木精和伊红染色载玻片对我院病理科室收治的所有结肠息肉标本进行10年回顾性分析。使用IBM SPSS Statistics (version 23;IBM公司,阿蒙克,纽约,美国)。结果:共回顾131例。患者年龄5 ~ 86岁,平均55岁。男女比例为1.6:1。平均年龄59.4岁。在131例病例中,62例为腺瘤性息肉,49例为炎性息肉,另外20例为幼年性息肉、增生性息肉和错构瘤性息肉。结论:腺瘤性息肉在撒哈拉以南非洲地区的发病率越来越高,如果诊断设备可用,可能并不像以前认为的那样罕见。在非洲人结直肠癌的发病机制中,它们可能发挥着比人们认为的更重要的作用。
