« The hyperplastic polip can be defined as a lesion caused
by the inibition of programmed cell death or apoptosis »

Response to tissue injury
Genetic mechanism
(Kras, BRAF, MLH1…)
Serrated lesions pathway
« Despite decades of research into the behaviour of adenoma,
we still do not know which adenomas are aggressive »
J. R. Jass (2004)
« Inhibition of apoptosis characterises serrated polips, whereas
loss of inhibition of proliferation is the mechanism underlying
tubular adenomas » J. R. Jass (2004)

Clinical relevance
• Separate traditional hyperplastic polyp from sessile serrated
adenoma which is truly a neoplastic lesion that can progress to
carcinoma
• Nomenclature
• Follow-up guidelines
Nomenclature
• Polipo iperplastico
• Adenoma dentellato sessile (usualmente displasia di
basso grado)
• Adenoma dentellato (displasia di basso o alto grado)
• Polipo misto iperplastico/adenomatoso
Summary
• Sessile serrated adenoma, used to be called hyperplastic polyp,
but evidence exists that have precancerous potential through
serrated neoplasia pathway
• It has high growth rate, and has similar risk of developing
colorectal cancer as TA
• Optimal treatment is complete endoscopic removal and
probably managed as conventional adenoma
