Abstract

Heterotopic bone formation is seldom detected in lesions of gastrointestinal pathology. We report a rare case of osseous metaplasia in a juvenile rectal polyp in a four year old boy with a brief review of literature. As per the literature survey, this appears to be ninth case of osseous metaplasia in a juvenile rectal polyp.
