Osseous metaplasia is known to occur in non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesionsof gastrointestinal tract and is exceedingly rare in colonic polyps. Heterotopic bone formation is rarely described in gastro intestinal lesions. Only few cases are reported in the literature. We here with report a case of osseous metaplasia an incidental histological finding in a rectal polyp in 12 years male child who presented with epigastric pain and diarrhea of mucoid type for the past 6 months and rectal bleeding for past 2 months. Though it is a histological finding incidentally found, here in we present this case for its rarity with review of literature.
