Sessile serrated lesion misdiagnosed as a hyperplastic polyp

Sessile serrated lesion misdiagnosed as a hyperplastic polyp.

An 81-year-old woman presented for colonoscopy because of iron deficiency anemia. She had undergone colonoscopy 5 years previously during which a 2-cm prominent fold had been identified in the proximal ascending colon (●" Fig.1). A biopsy of this lesion was interpreted as being a hyperplastic polyp (●" Fig.2), although the polyp showed features of a serrated lesion. Because of clinical concern ...

Sessile serrated adenoma/polyps with a depressed surface: a rare form of sessile serrated adenoma/polyp

Sessile serrated adenoma/polyps (SSA/Ps) usually appear flat to sessile with a smooth-appearing surface. However, macroscopic appearances of SSA/P can vary from flat-elevated to nodular and can even show a pedunculated configuration as we previously reported. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the clinicopathologic features of another under-recognized form of SSA/P which shows a depre...

Inverted sessile serrated polyp diagnosed by magnifying image-enhanced colonoscopy.

Nomenclature, molecular genetics and clinical significance of the precursor lesions in the serrated polyp pathway of colorectal carcinoma.

Serrated adenomas (SAs) are part of the distinct serrated polyp pathway of colorectal carcinogenesis characterized by microsatellite instability and deficiency in DNA mismatch repair. Sessile SA is a recently recognized lesion that typically presents as a large sessile polyp, but lacks the conventional dysplasia. It is more frequently found on the right side than on the left side of the colon, ...

Sessile serrated adenoma/polyp leading to acute appendicitis with multiple pyogenic liver abscesses: A case report

INTRODUCTION Although appendicitis is a common disease, appendicitis concurrent with liver abscesses and sessile serrated adenoma/polyp (SSA/P) is rare. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 69-year-old man presented with symptoms of abdominal pain and fever. Computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple liver abscesses and an enlarged appendix with a pseudotumoral appearance, which suggested acute appendiciti...
