Assessment of Adenomas Geraint Williams Pathology Department Cardiff University The great majority of lesions in the Screening Programme are small adenomas and hyperplastic polyps Recognising adenomas Categorising adenomas Invasion Completeness of Excision Serrated lesions Recognising adenomas Categorising adenomas Invasion Completeness of Excision Serrated lesions Size Villousness Dysplasia Frequency of Carcinoma in Adenomas < 1 cm 1479 1.3% 1-2 cm 580 9.5% > 2 cm 430 46.0% Muto et al 1975 Frequency of Carcinoma in Adenomas tubular 1875 4.7% tubulovillous 380 22.4% villous 234 41.9% Muto et al 1975 Frequency of Carcinoma in Adenomas mild dysplasia 1734 5.7% moderate dysplasia 549 18.0% severe dysplasia 223 34.5% Muto et al 1975 High Risk (‘Advanced’) Adenomas > 1 cm villous component severe dysplasia As long as there is no invasive malignancy and excision is complete No worries!
