Qualities of sessile serrated adenoma/polyp/lesion and its borderline variant in the context of synchronous colorectal carcinoma

Although much data have accumulated on sessile serrated adenoma/polyp/lesion (SSA/P/L) in general, its characteristics in specified contexts are less well elucidated. This lack of knowledge is even more conspicuous concerning its borderline counterpart, referred to as BSSA/P/L. The previous histological observations of the authors on SSA/P/L and BSSA/P/L in general are here extended to encompass attributes of these polyps in the context of synchronous colorectal carcinoma (SCRC), with a focus on the place of BSSA/P/L in the spectrum of non-dysplastic serrated polyps.
