Core Tip	Schistosomiasis is associated with wide range of pathological lesions including development of polyps. Colon is the commonest site for polyp development, however polyps are reported in many organs including urinary bladder, ureters, larynx, duodenum, small intestine, gallbladder, anus, uterine cervix and external genitalia. Schistosomal polyps are associated with wide range of morbidity differ according to the polyp site, size and number. The malignant potential of these polyps is a hot point of discussion. Although small sized polyps can regress with medical therapy using praziquantel, large accessible polyps were retrieved endoscopically. Complicated, huge and inaccessible polyps are treated surgically.
