Which of the following is NOT a premalignant condition?
Correct Answer: Juvenile polyps
Description: In contrast to adenomatous polyps, hamaomatous polyps (juvenile polyps) usually are not premalignant. These lesions are the characteristic polyps of childhood but may occur at any age. Bleeding is a common symptom and intussusception and/or obstruction may occur. Because the gross appearance of these polyps is identical to adenomatous polyps, these lesions should also be treated by polypectomy. Ref: Bullard Dunn K.M., Rothenberger D.A. (2010). Chapter 29.
