Juvenile polyp
Diagnosis in short

Juvenile polyp (stomach). H&E stain.

LM

eroded, smooth or lobulated surface, pedunculated, increased lamina propria (LP) +/- edema,

cystically dilated gland, +/-inflammation
LM DDx inflammatory polyp, hyperplastic polyp of the stomach, Cronkhite-Canada syndrome
Site gastrointestinal tract polyps

Syndromes Juvenile polyposis syndrome

Prevalence uncommon
Prognosis benign itself; multiple = marker of increased risk of malignancy
Clin. DDx other GI polyps

Juvenile polyp, abbreviated JP, is a type of hamartomatousgastrointestinal polyp.

In adults, it is known as a retention polyp.

General

  • Uncommon.

May be part of a syndrome:

Gross

  • Mushroom-like shape.

Microscopic

Features:[1][2]

  • Eroded, smooth or lobulated surface.
  • Pedunculated.
  • Increased lamina propria (LP) +/- edema.
  • Cystically dilated gland.
  • Often inflammed.

Mnemonic DIES = dilated glands, increased LP & inflammation of the LP, eroded/smooth surface, stalk.

Notes:

  • May have nuclear changes like those seen in adenomatous polyps.

DDx:

IHC

  • Usually none.

Notes:

  • IHC can be used if it is suspected to have dysplasia (p53, Ki-67).
    • p53 mutations in dysplastic epithelium -- negative stain (normal).
