Abstract

Background: Rectal polyps are a common pathology of the distal gastrointestinal tract, which may progress from benign lesions to malignancy if not detected and treated promptly. Identifying the histopathological characteristics of polyps plays an essential role in the diagnosis, management, and prevention of colorectal cancer. Objectives: To investigate the histopathological characteristics of rectal polyps in patients undergoing colonoscopy at Can Tho General Hospital. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 90 patients with rectal polyps detected through colonoscopy between April and October 2024. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 software. Results: Among 90 patients, neoplastic polyps accounted for 88.9%, while non-neoplastic polyps represented 11.1%. The age group of 45–59 years had the highest proportion (35.6%), followed by the 60–74 age group (31.1%). No statistically significant association was observed between histological type and endoscopic features (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Neoplastic polyps were the most common type and carried a higher risk of malignant transformation. Early screening, accurate diagnosis, and timely intervention are essential to reduce complications and prevent malignant progression.
