Colonic polyposis due to Schistosoma intercalatum

Schistosomiasis polyps induced by Schistosoma mansoni and S. japonicum have been reported from pathological observations but this is not the case for colonic schistosomiasis infection by S. intercalatum which has always been associated with mild clinical presentations. We report the case of a 17-year-old man, native from Equatorial Guinea, with colonic polyposis associated with infection by S. intercalatum.
