Introduction. Juvenile polyposis syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder in children characterized by multiple polyps in the gastrointestinal tract. A variety of clinical features manifest, including prolapse of a polyp or entire rectum, gastrointestinal bleeding, anaemia, and intussusception. This condition if left unmanaged promptly leads to fatal complications including the development of cancer of the bowel. Case Presentation. A 13-year-old girl with a history of mass protrusion per anus associated with bloody diarrhea. Colonoscopy showed multiple polyps in her large bowel. She underwent total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis and did clinically well post surgery with no complications. Conclusion. Juvenile polyposis syndrome is an inherited condition with significant morbidity and a high risk of colon malignancy. It is important for early screening and diagnosis and hence management in its early stages as there are no specific standard guidelines for children.

Juvenile polyps are the most common gastrointestinal polyps in childhood. Typically, they are located in the colon and present with intermittent and painless hematochezia.

We report an isolated juvenile polyp in the small intestine presenting with painless anemia, identified using video capsule endoscopy, and removed via enteroscopy.
