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.

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
  • EMA -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.
