<unk> s are a type of polyp found in the colon. While<unk> s are typically found in children, they may be found in people of any age.<unk> s are a type of hamartomatous polyps, which consist of a disorganized mass of tissue. They occur in about two percent of children.<unk> s often do not cause symptoms (asymptomatic); when present, symptoms usually include gastrointestinal bleeding and prolapse through the rectum.<unk> s are diagnosed via colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy. If symptoms are present, then removal of the polyp (polypectomy) is warranted. In the absence of symptoms, removal is not necessary. Recurrence of polyps following removal is relatively common.<unk> s are usually sporadic, occurring in isolation, although they may occur as a part of<unk> osis syndrome. Sporadic<unk> s may occur in any part of the colon, but are usually found in the distal colon (rectum and sigmoid). In contrast to other types of colon polyps,<unk> s are not premalignant and are not usually associated with a higher risk of cancer; however, individuals with<unk> osis syndrome are at increased risk of gastric and colorectal cancer., Unlike<unk> osis syndrome, solitary<unk> s do not require follow up with surveillance colonoscopy.
