What is it about?
Sessile serrated adenoma/polyps (SSA/Ps) are considered precursors of colorectal cancers with microsatellite instability. However, it is still difficult to differentiate SSA/Ps from hyperplastic polyps endoscopically; therefore, the prevalence of SSA/Ps remains uncertain in clinical practice. This study aimed to clarify the proportion of SSA/Ps in endoscopically diagnosed colorectal polyps with hyperplastic features (E-HPs).

Why is it important?
The overall proportion of SSA/Ps in E-HPs was 2.7 %, although this proportion was higher in the proximal colon and increased with the size of E-HPs. SSA/Ps were common in routine colonoscopy, with a prevalence of at least 5.0 %.
