Colonic polyp
ICD-9 V12.72
OMIM 175100
MeSH D003111

In medicine, colonic polyps are "discrete tissue masses that protrude into the lumen of the colon. These polyps are connected to the wall of the colon either by a stalk, pedunculus, or by a broad base."[1] Colonic polyps may become colorectal cancer.

Classification

In a study of 2531 volunteers 50 years of age or older:[2]

  • 1629 (64%) had no polyps
  • 902 (36%) had polyps
    • 512 (57% of the 902) had polyps with the largest being less than 5 mm in size
    • 258 (29% of the 902) had 392 polyps with the largest being 5 mm - 9 mm in size
      • 246 (63% of the 392 polyps) were adenomatous
      • 146 (27% of the 392 polyps) were non-adenomatous such as hyperplastic polyps and lipomas
    • 132 (15% of the 902) had 155 polyps with the largest being 10 mm or larger in size
      • 121 (78% of the 155 polyps) were adenomatous
      • 7 (5% of the 155 polyps) were carcinomas
      • 27 (17% of the 155 polyps) were non-adenomatous

Hyperplastic polpys

Adenomatous polyps

Adenomatous colonic polyps are common and are present in 25% of men and 15% of women undergoing screening colonoscopy.[3]

Tubular adenomas
Tubulovillous adenomas
Villous adenomas

Diagnosis

CT scan may be used.[4][2][5][6]

Prognosis

Risk depends on polyp size (adapted from Table 2 in Butterly[7] and Johnson[2])
Polyp size Cancer
% (confidence interval)		 Villous histology or
high-grade dysplasia
% (confidence interval)		 Total
% (confidence interval)
< 4 mm 0 (0–.36) 1.68 (.87–2.49) 1.68 (.87–2.49)
5–9 mm 0.87% (.26–1.48) 9.23 (7.32–11.14) 10.10 (8.11–12.08)
> 10 mm 5%    

Adenomatous colonic polyps may progress to colorectal cancer; however, less than 10% do so.[3] The rate of progression to invasive cancer among polyps of at least 10 mm size is about 1% per year.[8]

High risk colonic polyps are defined as either:[9]

  • 3 or more synchronous adenomas
  • Adenomas ≥1 cm in diameter
  • Villous histology or high-grade dysplasia

The risk of current dysplasia depends on the size of the polyp (see table).[7] Similar numbers have been reported by other studies.[10] The risk of recurrence of future high risk histology is also correlated with size.[11]
