Endoscopic and pathological features of advanced colorectal serrated adenoma / 中华消化内镜杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the clinical and pathological features of advanced colorectal serrated adenoma(ACSA). Methods The endoscopic and pathological features of 156 cases of ACSA and 121 cases of non-ACSA diagnosed in General Hospital, Tianjin Medical University from January 2010 to March 2016 were retrospectively analyzed and compared.Results ACSA and non-ACSA cases accounted for 56.3%(156/277)and 43.7%(121/277)of all patients with colorectal serrated lesions,respectively. The mean age of ACSA patients was 57.79±13.65 years and 89(57.1%)of these patients were male. There was no significant difference in age and gender between ACSA and non-ACSA patients. A total of 161 ACSA lesions were diagnosed,including 71 sessile serrated adenoma/polyps and 90 traditional serrated adenomas. Among the 161 ACSA lesions,there were 29(18.0%)lesions whose diameter≥10 mm, and 84(52.2%) lesions located in the proximal colon, which were more than non-ACSA(84/161 VS 49/134,P=0.007). ACSA was classified under endoscopy into pedunculated type(20/161),sub-pedunculated type(35/161), sessile type(24/161),flat type(79/161)and laterally spreading tumor(3/161), and the distribution of lesion type was significantly different from non-ACSA(P<0.001). One hundred and sixty(99.4%)ACSA lesions were diagnosed as dysplasia, including 158 low degree dysplasia and 2 high degree dysplasia.Moreover,16 ACSA patients were accompanied with synchronous advanced colorectal neoplasia(sACN), and large serrated polyps(diameter≥10 mm)might have a strong association with sACN(OR=4.35, 95%CI1.467-12.894, P<0.05). Conclusion ACSA is more common in proximal colon and sub-pedunculated type,sessile type and flat type. ACSA diameter≥10 mm is significantly associated with sACN.
