Author: Mikael Häggström [note 1]

Gross examination

Tissue selection and trimming

Depending on sample format:[1]

  • Biopsies and polyps of <4 mm are embedded in their entirety.
  • Small are embedded in their entirety.
  • Polyps 4-8 mm with short stem or without stem: Identify the excision surface and divide the polyp longitudinally through the excision surface.
  • Polyps > 8 mm with a stem long enough to make it possible to take a transverse, whole slice from the stem closest to the excision surface: First, take a transverse slice through the peripheral portion of the stem, encompassing the entire circumference. Then take a 3-4 mm thick slice longitudinally through the polyp and the middle of the stem, after which the two remaining parts on either side are cut into equally thick slices, parallel to the previous slice.
  • Polyps >8 mm with short stem or without stem: Identify the excision surface and cut out a 3-4 mm thick disk that extends longitudinally through the center of the excision surface. Then divide the two remaining portions into equally thick slices, parallel to the previous slice.
  • Polyps that come in parts. Pick out the largest pieces, which are cut as similar as possible to above. Small fragments are sieved and embedded in a separate box.

Gross report

Microscopic evaluation

Consider at least the following conditions:

Hyperplastic polyp 0%
  • Mucin-rich type: Serrated (“saw tooth”) appearance, containing glands with star-shaped lumina.[2] Crypts that are elongated but straight, narrow and hyperchromatic at the base. All crypts reach to the muscularis mucosae.[2]
  • Goblet cell-rich type: Elongated, fat crypts and little to no serration. Filled with goblet cells, extending to surface, which commonly has a tufted appearance.[2]

Tubular adenoma 2% at 1.5cm[3] Over 75% of volume has tubular appearance.[4]
Tubulovillous adenoma 20% to 25%[5] 25%-75% villous[4]
Villous adenoma 15%[6] to 40%[5] Over 75% villous[4]
Sessile serrated adenoma (SSA)[7]
  • Basal dilation of the crypts
  • Basal crypt serration
  • Crypts that run horizontal to the basement membrane (horizontal crypts)
  • Crypt branching.
