Hyperplastic polyp with perineuromatous stroma, also known as benign serrated colorectal fibroblastic polyps/intramucosal perineurioma and hybrid hyperplastic polyp/mucosal perineurioma, is a benign colorectal polyp.

Hyperplastic polyp with perineuromatous stroma
Diagnosis in short

LM serrated epithelial cells (at the surface), perineuromatous stroma
LM DDx colonic ganglioneuroma, hyperplastic polyp
Site colon and rectum

Prevalence rare

Clin. DDx other types of colorectal polyps

It may be referred to as perineurioma and fibroblastic polyp.[1]

General

  • Rare.
  • Benign.[2]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Serrated epithelial cells (at the surface of the gland) - key feature.
    • Serrated appearance = saw-tooth appearance, epithelium has jagged edge.
  • Perineuromatous stroma.

IHC

Features:[3]

  • Vimentin +ve.
  • SMA -ve.
  • Desmin -ve.
  • CD117 -ve.
  • S-100 -ve

Sign out

Polyp, Colon at 35 cm, Polypectomy or Biopsy:
     - Hyperplastic polyp with perineuromatous stroma.

Micro

The sections show a polypoid fragment of colonic-type serrated epithelium with small round glands at the deep aspect. Fibroblastic/perineuromatous type stroma is present and NSE NEGATIVE, S100 NEGATIVE and desmin NEGATIVE. The tissue is NEGATIVE for atypia and NEGATIVE for apparent proliferative activity.
