    abstract = {presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms at a tertiary care centre in
Tamil Nadu. The most affected age group was 41–60 years, with a male
predominance (M:F = 1.3:1). The most common symptoms were chronic
diarrhea and rectal bleeding. Non‐neoplastic lesions constituted 65% of
cases, with non‐specific colitis being the most frequent. Inflammatory
bowel disease was diagnosed in 18% of cases. Infectious colitis, including
tuberculosis, accounted for 6%. Neoplastic lesions included adenomatous
polyps (10%) and colorectal adenocarcinoma (12%). Histopathological
examination of colonoscopic biopsies provides definitive diagnosis and
aids in the management of diverse GI lesions. Early colonoscopic
evaluation in symptomatic individuals can facilitate timely diagnosis,
especially of pre‐malignant and malignant conditions.}
