Endoscopic resection of colonic polyps – A review

Endoscopic polypectomy has become standard care for the treatment of colonic polyps. While about 90% of polyps are small in size and easy to resect, a small percentage of polyps are of large size (>2 cm) and broad base and endoscopic resection is a real challenge for the endoscopist. An appropriate technique for safe removal of these large colorectal polyps has been developed and includes submu...

Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome: an unusual finding of gastro-intestinal adenomatous polyps in a syndrome characterized by hamartomatous polyps

Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is a rare, hamartomatous polyposis syndrome of unknown etiology. Hamartomatous gastro-intestinal polyps, alopecia, onychodystrophy, cutaneous hyperpigmentation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and complications of weight loss are typical of the syndrome. In this report, we describe a pathological finding of colonic adenomatous polyposis as opposed to hamartomatous polyposis....

Herein, we report a case with metastatic colonic and gastric lesions from breast cancer, with the formation of mucosal polyps which resembled typical hyperplastic polyps.A 47-year-old woman underwent curable surgery for breast ...

Endometrial polyps with predominant stromal component are characterized by a t(6;14)(p21;q24) translocation.

Cytogenetic investigation of endometrial polyps revealed the presence of a t(6;14)(p21;q24) as the sole abnormality in three cases. All tumors showed a histopathological pattern of predominant stromal hyperplasia with scarce representation of glandular elements, suggesting that a cytogenetic subgroup characterized by the t(6;14) translocation can be associated with endometrial polyps with a pre...
