Summary. The solitary pedieled colon polypus offers a complex of symptoms which will nowadays lead to a certain diagnosis, if only the possibility of this disease is borne in mind, and the investigation arranged accordingly. Rectal palpation, rectoscopy and radiological examination according to the methods given for colon polypus are the three diagnostic methods which must all be used. Three cases of colon polypus in children are reported: one with threatening bleeding and one with three polypi, one of which was diagnosed with the rectoscope and the other two by means of X‐ray.
