P1 PATHOLOGY Flashcards
a lesion or mass projecting on the surface into lumen composed of epithelium
Polyp
a polyp without a stalk is known as
sessile polyp
a polyp with a stalk is known as
Pedunclated polyp
types of non-neoplastic polyps
- inflammatory
-Hamartomatous - hyperplastic
Hyper-proliferation of epithelial cells that leads to pile up of goblet cells resulting in “ saw teeth appearance “ is known as
abnormal cell turnover / proliferation
disorganized, tumorlike growths composed of mature cell types is which type of polyp
Hamartomatous Polyp
triad of presentation in inflammatory polyps
rectal bleeding, mucus discharge, and
an inflammatory polyp on the
anterior rectal wall.
Hamartomatous Polyps are associated with what syndromes
1-Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome
2- Peutz-Jeghers syndrome
3- Cowden Syndrome.
the most common type of Hamartomatous Polyps that occurs in children younger than 5 years
Juvenile polyp
Juvenile polyps are usually manifested with
rectal bleeding & prolapse
Identify the type of polyp and what is the arrow indicating
Juvenile polyp
the arrow : cysts
what is the cause behind Hyperplastic (Metaplastic) Polyps
Caused by Defective epithelial cell turnover
hallmark for adenoma of colon is
dysplasia
common site for adenoma of cancer
recto-sigmoid junction
mention the 3 microscopic types of adenoma of colon
- tubular adenoma
- villous adenoma
- tublo-villous adenoma
mention the 2 features that increase the malignancy risk
1- size
2- presence of high grade dysplasia
Identify the type of polyp
Hyperplastic polyps
identify if this colonic mucosa is normal or abnormal
normal colonic muscosa
