Diagnosing Lipid Laden Macrophages ("Chicken Skin Mucosa")

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the nature of the mucosa adjacent to a polyp. It explains that the speckled mucosa surrounding the polyp, indicated by the arrows, is the result of lipid-laden macrophages in the lamina propria. This mucosa has a speculated appearance and is commonly seen around carcinomas and advanced adenomas. Importantly, it is not neoplastic and does not need to be included in endoscopic resections. The educational grant for the video is provided by Raintree, a part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals, makers of SUTAB.
