Abstract
Colonic polyps are abnormal growths of colonic or rectal tissue and are the precursor lesions to colorectal adenocarcinoma. Polyps are very common in the global population. There are several different types of polyps, and not all polyps have malignant potential. The two types of polyps with dysplasia, and therefore malignant potential, are conventional adenomas and serrated adenomas. This article covers the epidemiology, etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of both conventional colorectal adenomas and serrated polyps. These polyps are readily detected endoscopically using a sigmoidoscope or colonoscope and most can also be completely removed during the same examination by the procedure of polypectomy.
