| [ Summary ] |
Hyperplastic polyps (HP) were previously recognized as non-neoplastic lesion. However, large hyperplastic polyps (LHP), especially those located in the right colon, are now considered to be candidates for endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) because they may be sessile serrated adenoma/polyp (SSA/P). Although endoscopic findings with magnifying narrow-band imaging are a key diagnostic tool at present, differentiation between LHP and SSA/P under white light endoscopy (WLE) is difficult. We studied the features of SSA/P using magnifying narrow-band imaging. |
