SERRATED POLYPS OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT- EVOLVING CONCEPTS: A REVIEW ARTICLE

Author: SHAMEEM SHARIFF

Category: Pathology

Abstract:

Hyperplastic polyps with serrated morphology are known to have increased neoplastic progression. They show characteristic epigenetic alterations too and are difficult to diagnose on endoscopy. Histopathology is necessary for evaluation and confirmation with further molecular studies for management. A brief discussion of serrated polyps with newer concepts based on recent articles is hereby reviewed.
