Serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS) can transform to malignant lesions through the sessile serrated pathway and traditional serrated pathway. These pathways may cause rapid neoplastic progression compared to the adenoma-carcinoma sequence, which may cause interval colorectal cancer. The authors experienced a case of SPS with a synchronous colon adenocarcinoma that was treated with an endoscopic mucosal resection. In pathology reviews, other parts of the adenocarcinoma showed sessile serrated adenoma. Therefore, patients with SPS have a potential for malignant transformation, highlighting the need for strict colonoscopy surveillance starting at the time of SPS diagnosis.
