[ Summary ] |
The histopathology of colonic serrated lesions is generally classified into three categories : hyperplastic polyp (HP), sessile serrated adenoma/polyp (SSA/P), and traditional serrated adenoma (TSA). SSA/P resembles HP, but is one of the outrider lesions of the microsatellite instability (MSI) positive colorectal cancers on the right side of the colon. Unlike HP, at a point having the structure variant and the cell variant. This is a significant finding for the endoscopic diagnosis of SSA/P, type II-open pit pattern and VMV in NBI magnified observation. Since there is no established theory about how the criteria of SSA/P should be used in endoscopic treatment, this has important clinical implications. It is known that tubular adenoma like structures and TSA like structures are generated from a part of the SSA/P ; these are expressed as SSA/P with cytological dysplasia in the WHO classification. In the future, we need to integrate these serrated lesions and study the malignant transformation rate, the endoscopic findings, the clinicopathological features, and the molecular biological features of the cancer coexisting lesions, and continue to clarify the essence of the colorectal serrated lesions. |
