After six years experience in the anatomopathological study and having checked 33.452 histological cases 772 corresponded to colon tumoral pathology. It was then decided to proceed with the epidemiological analysis of the polyps, it's anatomical distribution according to sex and age, it's histolopathological characteristics and the possible relationship with malignant transformation. We found a clear predominance mainly of adenomatosic neoplasic polyps, followed by hyperplasic polyps. 65% of the patients were male and more than half of the cases were between the ages of 50 and 70. Coincitentally, 86% of the atypical polyps were found within this age group.
