Traditional serrated adenoma
Medical condition / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Traditional serrated adenoma is a premalignant type of polyp found in the colon, often in the distal colon (sigmoid, rectum). Traditional serrated adenomas are a type of serrated polyp, and may occur sporadically or as a part of serrated polyposis syndrome. Traditional serrated adenomas are relatively rare, accounting for less than 1% of all colon polyps.[1][2] Usually, traditional serrated adenomas are found in the distal colon and are usually less than 10 mm in size.[1]
