BACKGROUNDGastrointestinal polyps are frequently encountered during routine endoscopy and colonoscopy. These are considered as luminal projections above the plane of the adjacent mucosa. These can be non-neoplastic, neoplastic or hamartomatous and syndromic. The classification of polyps has important clinical implications and provides targeted clues towards discovering abnormalities in the remaining mucosa or even elsewhere in the body in syndromic cases. Histopathological typing was done with an aim to assess their benign or malignant potential.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
