Signet ring cell carcinoma in a juvenile polyp

Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2019 Dec;111(12):968. doi: 10.17235/reed.2019.6299/2019.

Abstract

Juvenile polyps are hamartomatous lesions, usually unique, which appear at an early age. They are usually located in the rectosigmoid junction and are not thought to imply a higher risk of colorectal cancer. Here we report a case of signet ring cell (SRC) carcinoma in this type of lesion.
