Prevalence and risk factors of colon polyps and other colonic lesions in acromegaly: Insights from colonoscopy screening
Patients with acromegaly exhibited a higher prevalence of colon polyps, predominantly located in the distal colon, which typically displayed a single histopathological subtype. No increased rates of colonic dysplasia, colon cancer, or other colonic lesions were observed in patients with acromegaly, except for an elevated prevalence of anal fissures.
