Abstract:
A total of 334 hyperplastic polyps of the colon of 266 patients were examined under epidemiologically, morphometrically and histochemically. Of these, 62 cases (23%) were associated with adenomas, 18 cases (7%) with carcinomas. Hyperplastic polyps are not entirely homogeneous, pathologically and -anatomically: Carcinoma-associated hyperplastic polyps are larger in diameter, the size and width of their crypts is greater, and they have a higher percentage of goblet cells with a higher amount of sialomucins as shown by HID/AB stain.
