Abstract

Background: Inflammatory myoglandular polyp (IMGP) combines the histopathological features of juvenile polyp and Peutz-Jegher’s polyp. Osseous metaplasia can be occasionally seen in various benign, adenomatous, and malignant polyps. Case report: A nine-year-old girl with hematochezia had a rectal polyp with histological features of IMGP with additional stromal osseous metaplasia. Conclusion: Benign osseous metaplasia can be found in IMGP.
