Patients with only 1 to 2 small (<1 cm) low-grade tubular adenomas should undergo repeat colonoscopy in 5 to 10 years. Finding 3 to 10 adenomas or any adenoma >1 cm, displaying high-grade dysplasia or with villous features, should prompt repeat colonoscopy at 3 years, and >10 adenomas at a single examination should prompt follow-up in <3 years, and a familial syndrome should be considered. Sessile adenomas removed piecemeal should be reviewed at 2 to 6 months to ensure complete removal.

Delayed puberty in girls occurs when breasts don't develop by age 13 or menstrual periods do not begin by age 16.
