Several studies have shown that patients with acromegaly are at increased risk of developing
colorectal polyps and cancer. The prevalence of polyp in colon of patients with acromegaly was
variously reported between 23% and 530/0. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence
of polyp and cancer of colon in patients with acromegaly. Twenty-three patients with acromegaly
were evaluated with colonoscopy for the presence of colonic polyps and cancer. Three patients
were found to have colonic polyps. This translates to a prevalence rate of 13%. We recommend
that screening colonoscopy be carried out once every three years in all acromegalic patients over
the age of 40 years.
