Abstract
Ploidy was studied with flow and image cytometry in 51 polyps removed endoscopically from 44 patients. Evaluation was carried out on frozen material in 34 cases and on material fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin in the remaining 17. Data analysis showed a statistically si gnificant correlation between polyp size and aneupolidy frequency (P > 0.05). No statistically significant correlation was found between ane uploidy frequency and histological type. The linear correlation study did, however, show a correlation tendency between histological type an d aneupolidy (R = 0.42211).
