| [ Summary ] |
Hyperplastic polyps of the colorectum has been generally small, diminutive, predominantly left side colon, and considered benign lesion. Large HPs (>10 mm in size) were rare. Recently it was reported that some of large HPs were associated with synchronous carcinoma and had a potential of developing to carcinoma.
In this review, we described the data that genetic alternations were observed in many cases of LHPs. We suggest that LHPs was the entity that need to remove in clinical practice. |
