Malignant transformation of colon polyps into cancer is a known process, but rarely seen on imaging. Early detection and treatment of these polypoid lesions are crucial for patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Oncology
Radiology

Background:

Colorectal cancer often arises from pre-existing adenomatous polyps.
The radiological demonstration of malignant transformation within polyps is uncommon.

Observation:

Presents three cases where colon polyps progressed to frank malignancy.
Radiological findings in these cases highlight the transition from benign to malignant lesions.

Findings:

Confirms the established pathway of polyp to cancer development.
Illustrates the radiological features associated with malignant change in colonic polyps.

Implications:

Emphasizes the critical role of radiology in identifying potentially malignant polyps.
