Özet

Background/Aims: Colorectal flat adenomas (FAs) may represent a different histogenesis, since their malignant potential is thought to be higher than polypoid adenomas of the same size. In this study, we classified FAs of <= 5 mm into three subgroups-superficially elevated adenomas (SEAs), completely flat adenomas (CFAs), and depressed adenomas (DAs)-based on their low microscopic shapes and compared their clinicopathological features with polypoid tubular adenomas (pTAs) with the same size.
