It is widely accepted that the adenoma carcinoma sequence represents the process by which most, if not all, colorectal cancers arise. Our study aimed to determine the frequency, location and histopathological types of colorectal polyps in patients undergoing colonoscopy. A Cross sectional descriptive study was conducted at Department of Gastroenterology, Liaquat National from 11th September 2014 to 10th March 2015. Total 150 patients of both gender and age 16-50 years, with history of rectal bleeding/ hematochezia and altered bowel habits were included in the study. All patients were evaluated through Colonoscopy and were diagnosed as having colorectal polyp if there was protrusion from colorectal mucosal surface during colonoscopy and its exact location was noted. Mucosal biopsy specimen was taken for histopathology. All the relevant information were entered on predesigned proforma. SPSS version 17 was used for data compilation and analysis. Mean±SD were calculated for qualitative variables. The participants mean age was 38.55±10.42 years, with range 34(16–50) years. The mean duration of symptoms was 5.73±2.54 months.The colorectal polyp was found in 46.7% cases. 74.3% colorectal polyps were at left site and 25.7% were at right site. It was revealed that, colorectal polyps are common in local population with 45.7% than in the West It was observe that 71.5% were adenomas polyps, 11.4% were hyperplastic polyps, 5.7% were hamartomas, 5.7% were lymphoid aggregates, and 5.7% were inflammatory polyps. Adenomatous polyps are the predominant histologic type, and more than 70% of polyps are located in the left colon. Keywords: Histopathological Types, Colorectal Polyps, Colonoscopy
