Pseudoinvasion in colorectal adenomatous polyps, also epithelial misplacement,[1] is a mimic of (invasive) colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Pseudoinvasion redirects to this article.

General

  • Mimic of invasion.
  • Pedunculated polyps.[2]
  • Left-sided lesions, esp. sigmoid colon.[3]

Microscopic

Features - classic:[4]

  1. Dysplastic glands surrounded by lamina propria.
  2. Hemosiderin.
  3. Lack of desmoplastic reaction.
  • +/-Cystic spaces with rounded contours without cells floating in them.

Memory device (classic features) LDH:

  • Lamina propria.
  • Desmoplasia lacking.
  • Hemosiderin.

DDx:

IHC=

  • MMP-1, p53, E-cadherin, collagen IV - may have some utility.[6]
    • Probably not useful for difficult cases.

Note:

  • The term pseudoinvasion may be confusing to clinicians.
