Larger flat elevations (6-10 mm) are more likely to be adenomas with higher dysplasia and intramucosal carcinoma than smaller ones (1-5 mm). Size is a key factor in flat lesion malignancy and dysplasia severity.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Flat elevations are a type of colorectal lesion.
  • Understanding the malignant potential of flat elevations is crucial for early cancer detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between the size of flat elevations and their histopathological characteristics, including adenoma presence, dysplasia grade, and malignancy.

Main Methods:

  • Ninety-nine endoscopically resected flat elevations were classified into two groups based on size: 1-5 mm (Group 1) and 6-10 mm (Group 2).
  • Histopathological analysis was performed to determine adenoma presence, degree of dysplasia, and presence of carcinoma.

Main Results:

  • Group 2 (6-10 mm) showed a higher adenoma detection rate (86.4%) compared to Group 1 (1-5 mm) (67.3%).

  • Larger flat elevations (Group 2) exhibited a higher degree of dysplasia and contained intramucosal carcinoma (15.8%), while no carcinoma was found in smaller lesions (Group 1).
  • Malignancy rate and dysplasia severity were directly correlated with lesion size.

    • Conclusions:

    • Flat elevation size is a significant predictor of adenoma development, dysplasia severity, and malignancy.
    • Larger flat elevations warrant closer examination due to their increased risk of harboring advanced neoplastic lesions.
