Introduction: Osseous metaplasia in the gastrointestinal tract is a rare phenomenon.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 62-year-old Hispanic man with two colonic polypoid lesions, one of which, upon resection and histopathological examination, was found to be a traditional serrated adenoma with a focus of stromal osseous metaplasia.

Conclusions: Our patient's case is the third report of stromal osseous metaplasia in a traditional serrated adenoma of the sigmoid colon.

Hard structural planes mainly exist in rock slopes and their creep characteristics largely determine slope stability. Traditional models have some shortcomings in describing the creep characteristics of hard structural planes, such as poor adaptability and unclear physical meaning of parameters. In order to overcome these shortcomings, based on the creep failure mechanism of hard structural planes, an element combination model is adopted in the study.
