Most common polyp in young children:
Hamartomatous
Polyp usually seen in the rectum
children
Sporadic Juvenile polyp
aka
mucus retention polyp
SMAD4
BMPRIA
juvenile polyposis syndrome
**increased risk for GI carcinomas
STK11

**Most common adult colonic polyp:
serration of mid portion of glands
Hyperplastic
Neoplastic polyp
dysplastic GLANDULAR proliferation
precursor to adenocarcinoma
prophylactically removed to prevent progression to CA
Adenoma
adenomatous polyp
resemble hyperplastic polyps
lack adenomatous epithilium
often found n right colon
precursor to adenocarcinoma
Sessile serrated polyp
Two polyps concernig for progression to adenocarcinoma:
- Adenoma
2. Sessile serrated
APC mutation
autosomal dominant
large # of polyps in youth = 100% risk of colorectal adenocarcinoma
