The colorectal adenoma is a benign glandular tumor of the colon and the rectum. It is a precursor lesion of the colorectal adenocarcinoma ( colon cancer ). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] They often manifest as colorectal polyps .
Tubular adenomas (tube-like shape) are the most common of the adenomatous polyps; they may occur everywhere in the colon and they are the least likely colon polyps to develop into colon cancer; Tubulovillous; Villous adenomas are commonly found in the rectal area and they are normally larger in size than the other two types of adenomas.
1–2 tubular adenomas <10 mm: 7–10 years 3–4 tubular adenomas <10 mm: 3–5 years 5–10 tubular adenomas <10 mm and/or; Adenoma 10 mm and/or; Adenoma with tubulovillous or villous histology and/or; Adenoma with high-grade dysplasia; 3 years >10 adenomas on single examination: 1 years Piecemeal resection of adenoma 20 mm: 6 months
A physician's response to detecting an adenoma in a patient will vary according to the type and location of the adenoma among other factors. [citation needed] Different adenomas will grow at different rates, but typically physicians can anticipate the rates of growth because some types of common adenomas progress similarly in most patients.

Colorectal adenocarcinoma is distinguished from a colorectal adenoma (mainly tubular and ⁄or villous adenomas) mainly by invasion through the muscularis mucosae. [10] In carcinoma in situ (Tis), cancer cells invade into the lamina propria, and may involve but not penetrating the muscularis mucosae. This can be classified as an adenoma with ...
A sessile serrated lesion (SSL) is a premalignant flat (or sessile) lesion of the colon, predominantly seen in the cecum and ascending colon.. SSLs are thought to lead to colorectal cancer through the (alternate) serrated pathway.
It begins with normal tissue and long-term inflammation causes the cells to undergo atrophy, metaplasia, dysplasia, and finally, becomes an adenoma or carcinoma. [2] Given this progression, these lesions represent a potentially cancerous growths and an important opportunity to prevent gastrointestinal cancer.
