Video Tip: Diagnosing Serrated Polyposis Syndrome | September 2022-Diagnosing Serrated Polyposis Syndrome

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video features a 72-year-old woman who was referred for surgery to remove a large lesion in her transverse colon. The doctor explains that it is important to examine the entire colorectum for any additional lesions. In this case, multiple lesions were found extending through the transverse colon and in the rectosigmoid colon. The doctor identifies different types of lesions, including adenomas and SSLs, some of which show dysplasia. The patient is diagnosed with serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS) based on meeting the criteria for type one and type two SPS. The key to recognizing serrated lesions is to carefully examine their appearance, which can include both adenoma and serrated components.
