Colonic polyps are very common in the general population. Some polyps present a cancerization risk and their screening and management by endoscopy reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. Other polyps do not need specific follow-up. There are different types of polyps whose classification has been updated over the last ten years. Serrated polyps now intersect hyperplastic polyps, sessile serrated adenomas and traditional serrated adenomas. Current recommendations are to resect and histologically analyze each colonic polyp to define a personalized endoscopic surveillance strategy. Some colonic polyposis syndromes require management in a specialized center.

Introduction: Colorectal non-polypoid lesions (NPLs) are flat, hard-to-detect and mainly right-sided lesions. We aimed to assess the prevalence and endoscopic features of NPLs lesions in a large cohort of screening patients in Northern Italy.
Methods: FIT-positive subjects between 50 and 69 years old who had undergone at least a screening colonoscopy from March 2005 to December 2017 at the Endoscopy Unit of Ferrara were included.
Connecting the dots: Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms and serrated polyps in the appendix.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) and serrated polyps (SPs) of the appendix, both characterized by KRAS mutations and overlapping morphologic features.
Methods: We analyzed 27 cases of LAMN and 24 cases of SP from archival records, reviewed pathology, and performed molecular analysis on select cases. Four cases initially diagnosed as LAMN were excluded for not meeting diagnostic criteria, and 1 SP case was reclassified as LAMN.

Objective: Recently, several non-conventional variants of IBD-associated dysplasia have been described; however, their prevalence in Central-Eastern Europe is unknown. We aimed to perform a retrospective pilot study by re-evaluating several IBD-associated adenocarcinoma cases to survey the incidence of adjacent non-conventional dysplasia and validate that recent North American findings may apply to a European population.
Methods: Retrospectively, 28 randomly chosen cases of IBD-associated adenocarcinomas diagnosed between 2010 and 2022 were re-evaluated.

Background And Aims: Adenoma detection rate (ADR) serves as a primary quality metric in colonoscopy. Various computer-aided detection (CADe) tools have emerged, yielding diverse impacts on ADR across different demographic cohorts. This study aims to evaluate a new CADe system in patients undergoing colonoscopy.

Aims: WNT signalling pathway dysregulation is often a critical early component in colorectal neoplasia, particularly the chromosomal instability pathway. Using two WNT reporters, and , we sought to assess whether these polyps demonstrate predictable expression patterns and if these patterns show diagnostic value.
Methods: We evaluated 23 adenomas (TA), 23 sessile serrated lesions (SSLs), 14 SSL with dysplasia and 38 traditional serrated adenomas (TSA).
