Overview

Colon polyps may be classified into two groups of neoplastic and non-neoplastic. Non-neoplastic polyps consist of inflammatory and hamartomatous polyps. Neoplastic polyps consist of serrated and adenomatous polyps. Adenomatous polyps may be classified into several subtypes based on endoscopic and histologic features, and degree of dysplasia. Adenomas may be classified according to endoscopic features into four groups including sessile, pedunculated, flat, or depressed. Adenomas may be classified according to histologic features into three groups including tubular, tubulovillous, and villous.

Classification

Colon polyps may be classified according to the NBI International Colorectal Endoscopic (NICE) classification into two types:[6][7]

NICE criterion Type 1 Type 2
Color Same or lighter background Darker background
Vessels None, or isolated lacy vessels coursing across the lesion Brown vessels surrounding the white center
Surface Circular pattern with dark or white small spots surrounded by lighter mucosa Oval, tubular, or branched white structures
Probable pathology Hyperplastic Adenoma

Colon polyps may be classified according to malignancy potentials into two large groups:

Adenomas may be classified according to endoscopic features into four groups:

Adenomas may be classified according to histologic features into three groups:

  • Tubular
  • Villous
  • Tubulovillous

Adenomas may be classified according to degree of dysplasia into two groups:
