Abstract

Serrated and villous adenomas of the appendix appear to be highly aggressive lesions, more aggressive than similar adenomas in the colon and rectum. Of the seven cases with a hyperplastic polyp, one concurred with a serrated adenoma, two with a serrated adenoma having an invasive carcinoma, and one with invasive carcinoma without a remnant adenomatous structure. At present, there is an increased awareness that some hyperplastic polyps of the colon and rectum may evolve into serrated adenomas. Whether this pathway is also valid for the appendix vermiformis should be investigated in a larger number of cases.
