The management of colorectal polyps <10mm in diameter is controversial. Our aim was to evaluate the rate and risk factors for advanced adenomas and high grade neoplasia amongst small (6-9 mm) and diminutive (1-5mm) colorectal polyps.
Endoscopic and pathological reports of colonoscopies performed in our centre were collected prospectively. Advanced adenoma was defined by presence of a villous component and/or high grade dysplasia; high grade neoplasia by presence of high grade dysplasia and/or intramucosal carcinoma.
1468 patients were included (53.1% male, mean age 59.5±14 years); 414 polyps <10mm were detected, 9.9% advanced adenomas and 1.7% high grade neoplasia. Amongst small polyps, 25 (35.2%) were advanced adenomas, mainly due to villous features, and 3 (4.2%) were high grade neoplasia. Polyp size was associated with advanced adenomas (odds ratio=8.47).
The rate of advanced adenomas amongst small polyps was 35%, mainly due to the presence of villous features. Polyp size was identified as a risk factor of advanced adenoma amongst polyps <10mm. Given these results, we believe that polypectomy should be warranted for patients presenting with small polyps at computed tomography colonography.
直径<10mm 的结直肠息肉的处理存在争议。我们的目的是评估 6-9mm 大小的小息肉和 1-5mm 大小的微小息肉中高级别腺瘤和高级别肿瘤的发生率和危险因素。
前瞻性收集了在我们中心进行的结肠镜检查的内镜和病理报告。高级别腺瘤的定义为存在绒毛成分和/或高级别异型增生;高级别肿瘤的定义为存在高级别异型增生和/或黏膜内癌。
共纳入 1468 例患者(53.1%为男性,平均年龄 59.5±14 岁);发现 414 个<10mm 的息肉,9.9%为高级别腺瘤,1.7%为高级别肿瘤。在小息肉中,25 个(35.2%)为高级别腺瘤,主要与绒毛特征有关,3 个(4.2%)为高级别肿瘤。息肉大小与高级别腺瘤相关(比值比=8.47)。
小息肉中高级别腺瘤的发生率为 35%,主要与绒毛特征有关。息肉大小是<10mm 息肉中高级别腺瘤的危险因素。鉴于这些结果,我们认为对于 CT 结肠成像发现小息肉的患者,应行息肉切除术。
