Title:Inflammatory myoglandular polyp of the cecum: case report and review of
literature
Version: 2Date:4 December 2009
Reviewer: Shoji Hirasaki
Reviewer's report:
I think the authors have responded to my comments and questions. I would
however recommend linquistc revision by someone native to the English
language.
There are some mistakes in this manuscript, for example, in Discussion, third
paragraph, peduncolated (88.3%)# pedunculated (88.3%). In Discussion, fourth
paragraph, “As their experience is limited to 10 patients more cases are
required”#“As their experience is limited to 10 patients, more cases should be
studied”.
In Discussion, fifth paragraph, authors described that “Juvenile polyps do not
show###in young age.” and “Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) mostly occur
###plasma cells and eosinophils.” But juvenile polyps occur in middle or old age.
Authors should describe about endoscopic characteristics of colonic IFP and
juvenile polyps. It is difficult to distinguish juvenile polyps from IMGPs by
endoscopic findings. Also, it is difficult to distinguish red colonic IFPs from IMGPs
by endoscopic findings. Refer this paper (Hirasaki S, et al. Inflammatory fibroid
polyp occurring in the transverse colon diagnosed by endoscopic biopsy. World J
Gastroenterol 2007 ;13:3765-6) and add related papers to your References.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
I have no competing interests
