BACKGROUND Biopsy and polypectomy frequently are performed for lesions that carry a low risk of malignant transformation in the colon. Elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS) is a novel optical biopsy technique that can distinguish, almost instantaneously, between normal and abnormal tissue in vivo, without the need to remove tissue. We assessed the diagnostic potential of ESS in the colon to dif...

BACKGROUND Polyps originating from the posterior septum with choanal extension, also known as "septochoanal polyps," are uncommon, and septochoanal polyps with central calcification are extremely rare. We report the second case of septochoanal polyps with central calcification in the English literature. CASE PRESENTATION A 55-year-old Thai woman presented with a progressive left-side nasal ob...

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) presents distinct inflammatory and remodeling patterns in different populations and environments. Tibetan ethnic groups live at high altitudes and in cold weather conditions. We sought to examine whether Tibetans exhibit distinct CRS pathology or characteristics. Sinonasal polyps and mucosal tissue were obtained from 14 Tibetan patients with CRS and nasal polyps (CR...

Introduction. To date, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) has not yet been extensively studied: the molecular factors and mechanisms involved in initiation of polypous transformations mucosa (NM) sustaining their recurrence probability are still to be determined. Simultaneously, it is necessary understand rearrangement NM tissues make clinical prognosis choose an adequate therape...

INTRODUCTION Esophageal fibrovascular polyps are rare, benign, intraluminal, submucosal tumor-like lesions, characterized by pedunculated masses which can demonstrate enormous growth. The most frequent symptoms are dysphagia, vomiting and weight loss. Fibrovascular polyps with long stalks can regurgitate into the airways and cause asphyxia. Esophageal inflammatory pseudotumor is extremely rare ...

During the past five years, over than 1600 articles have been published on the subject of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP). Despite this, its physiopathology remains incompletely understood. CRSwNP is an overt and reverberant inflammatory disease, which leads to the recruitment of several inflammatory cells, characterized by the presence of eosinophils, neutrophils, and mast ce...

BACKGROUND Chile has a high frequency of gallbladder cancer. Polyps are common lesions of gallbladder mucosa but there is little information about their morphological features. AIM To report the clinical and pathological features of 219 gallbladder polyps. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cholecystectomites samples in which a polypoid lesion was diagnosed microscopically. In all cases, complete clinica...

A polyp is defined as any mass protruding into the lumen of a hollow viscus. Colorectal polyps may be classified by their macroscopic appearance as sessile (flat, arising directly from the mucosal layer) or pedunculated (extending from the mucosa through a fibrovascular stalk). Colorectal polyps may also be histologically classified as neoplastic or as non-neoplastic (hyperplastic, hamartomatou...
