A colonic perineurioma is often considered a benign cousin to a colonic polyp. However, in the submucosal type of perineurioma, it is important to rule out the malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Alternatively, in the BRAF-positive serrated types of perineuriomas, surveillance is equivalent to intervals designated to serrated polyps due to a similar malignant potential. These versions serve as reminders that colonic perineuriomas are not to be disregarded.

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.
