Video Transcription

The tip is brought to you by an educational grant from Raintree, a part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals, makers of SUTAB. What is the nature of the mucosa adjacent to this 1S polyp?  To make sure we're on the same page, I'm talking about the speckled mucosa designated by the arrows and surrounding the entire circumference of this polyp.  Histologically, this mucosa is the result of lipid-laden macrophages in the lamina propria of the mucosa. It has this speculated appearance.  It's seen around carcinomas and advanced adenomas. It is not neoplastic and does not need to be included in endoscopic resections.
