The terminal 10cm of the ileum was thickened and hyperemic with some fibrin on its surface. The cecum appeared normal. The ileocecal lymph nodes were enlarged. Histological examination of the appendix showed mild nonspecific inflammation. In 1985, the patient was referred with an enterocutaneous ...
Normally, the immature cells lining the colon are programmed to divide (multiply), mature, and then die in a very consistent and timely fashion. However, the genetic changes that occur in the lining cells prevent the cells from maturing, and the cells do not die. This leads to an accumulat...
Encountered colorectal polyps were harvested and resected, which were further classified by the distribution as right-sided colon phenotype (cecum, ascending, and transverse colon), left-sided colon phenotype (descending colon, sigmoid, and rectum), and whole colon phenotype. All specimens were paraffi...
Most adenomas occurred in the ascending colon in both groups (58%), followed by the cecum (26%) and the transverse colon (11%). A sub-analysis within the IBD group revealed that more polyps were present in the UC group when compared to the CD group (27% vs. 5%, p = 0.0001;...
Like sessile serrated polyps, sessile serrated polyps with dysplasia are more frequently diagnosed in the proximal colon (cecum and ascending colon) with female predominance [29]. Increasing age and increasing lesion size are associated with the development of dysplasia in sessile serrated polyps. Howev...
The Japanese Society of Gastroenterology (JSGE) published ‘‘Daicho Polyp Shinryo Guideline 2014′’ in Japanese and a part of this gu
The locations of the adenomas were classified as follows: the proximal colon (cecum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure, and transverse colon) and distal colon (splenic flexure of the colon, descending colon, sigmoid, and rectum). Histologic diagnoses of SSA/POs and SSA/PDAs were evaluated ...
A new colonoscope with a short turn radius may potentially allow withdrawal from the cecum to rectum in complete retroflexion and may therefore increase polyp detection rates. We have previously shown in a bench model study that this new colonoscope was able to detect significantly more hidden ...
Of these 66 polyps, 47 (71.2%) were found in the distal colon (transverse colon to rectum) and 19 (28.9%) in proximal colon (cecum and ascending colon). Large-size polyps of ≥ 10 mm, considered to be advanced polyp, were found in 13/671 people (1.9%). Of these 13 people, 11 ...
