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. [1] [2] This differs from most colorectal cancer, which arises from mutations starting with inactivation of the APC ...
It is standardized with the C section of ICD-10. There were no changes in the topography axis between ICD-O-2 and ICD-O-3. ... M8213/0 Serrated adenoma (C18._)
Traditional serrated adenoma seen under microscopy with H&E stain, showing serrated crypts. SPS may occur with one of two phenotypes: distal or proximal. [6] The distal phenotype may demonstrate numerous small polyps in the distal colon and rectum, whereas the proximal phenotype may be characterized by relatively fewer, but larger polyps in the proximal colon (cecum, ascending colon, etc.). [6]
Colorectal adenoma Type Risk of containing malignant cells Histopathology definition Tubular adenoma 2% at 1.5 cm [4] Over 75% of volume has tubular appearance. [5] Tubulovillous adenoma 20% to 25% [6] 25–75% villous [5] Villous adenoma 15% [7] to 40% [6] Over 75% villous [5] Sessile serrated adenoma (SSA) [8] Basal dilation of the crypts ...
A large majority (65–80%) are of the benign tubular type with 10–25% being tubulovillous, and villous being the most rare at 5–10%. [9] As is evident from their name, sessile serrated and traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs) have a serrated appearance and can be difficult to distinguish microscopically from hyperplastic polyps. [18]
A sessile serrated adenoma or traditional serrated adenoma is suspected if there is either of the following: [4] Nuclear stratification; Loss of polarity; Dysplasia; A sessile serrated adenoma is suspected in case of any of the following: [4] Size ≥0.5 cm; Location in right colon; If both are present, it is almost always an SSA.
The remaining 10% of adenomas are larger than 1 cm and approach a 10% chance of containing invasive cancer. [17] There are three types of adenomatous polyp: 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
Traditional serrated adenoma is a premalignant type of polyp found in the colon, often in the distal colon (sigmoid, rectum). Traditional serrated adenomas are a type of serrated polyp, and may occur sporadically or as a part of serrated polyposis syndrome. Traditional serrated adenomas are relatively rare, accounting for less than 1% of all ...
