Background: Controversy exists over the prevalence of colonic neoplasia in individuals with acromegaly. Some previous studies have demonstrated an increased prevalence of colorectal neoplasia compared to controls, however others have shown no such association. Furthermore, colonoscopy in acromegalic individuals has an increased rate of complications and even death.
