- Abstract
- Serrated adenoma has been proposed to be a distinct entity among the colonic neoplasms. Progression to frank carcinoma has been suggested in individual cases, but the prevalence of the carcinomas that originated from serrated adenomas and their clinico-pathological characteristics are not known. The serrated pathway encompasses hyperplastic aberrant crypt foci, hyperplastic polyps, mixed polyps and serrated adenoma, and it is increasingly being associated with genetic alterations, including DNA microsatellite instability and KRAS mutation. The importance of the serrated pathway has been underestimated in terms of its frequency and potential for rapid progression.
We report here on two cases of colonic mucinous adenocarcinoma originating from serrated adenomas.(Korean J Med 71:S929-S933, 2006)
Keywords :Serrated adenoma, Colonic adenocarcinoma
