{{Main|Hyperplastic polyp}}
===General===
*Most common type of polyp:
**Approximately 90% of all colonic polyps.<ref name=Ref_PBoD858/>
**Most common type of [[gastric hyperplastic polyp|gastric polyp]].<ref name=pmid19037727>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Jain | first1 = R. | last2 = Chetty | first2 = R. | title = Gastric hyperplastic polyps: a review. | journal = Dig Dis Sci | volume = 54 | issue = 9 | pages = 1839-46 | month = Sep | year = 2009 | doi = 10.1007/s10620-008-0572-8 | PMID = 19037727 }}</ref>

*Flat lesion, usually <= 5mm.
*Typically in the distal large bowel (rectum, sigmoid colon).
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_PBoD858/>
*Irregular crypt architecture - tortuosity.
*Serrated epithelial cells (at the surface of the gland) - only colorectal polyps - '''key feature'''.
**''Serrated'' appearance = ''saw-tooth'' appearance, epithelium has jagged edge.
 
Notes:
*Significant negatives:
**No nuclear atypia; glands ''d''arker staining ''d''eep... ''l''ighter staining ''l''uminal.
**In the colon goblet cells should be present (as is usual).
*Inflammation -- cryptitis or even crypt abscesses -- is considered to arise due to trauma.{{fact}}
**It is usually ''not'' reported.
 
DDx:
*[[Sessile serrated adenoma]].
*[[Normal colon]].

====Subclassification====
*Usually '''not subclassified''' as there is no demonstrated prognostic significance;<ref name=pmid21045813/> the subtyping is an academic exercise.
 
HPs may be subclassified into two groups:<ref name=pmid21045813/>
#Microvesicular serrated polyps (MVSPs).
#Goblet cell serrated polyps (GCSPs).
 
Features of the HP subtypes:<ref name=pmid21045813/>

COLONIC POLYP, 35 CM, BIOPSY:
- HYPERPLASTIC POLYP.

COLONIC POLYP, SIGMOID COLON, BIOPSY:

=====Numerous hyperplastic polyps=====
<pre>
COLONIC POLYP(S), BIOPSY:
- HYPERPLASTIC POLYP, SEE COMMENT. 
 
COMMENT:
Eight pieces of tissue were received.  On microscopy eight pieces of tissue
are identified and all eight (individually) have the diagnostic features of a
hyperplastic polyp.  If these fragments all represent individual polyps and more
polyps of this type are present in the individual, it raises the possibility of
a serrated polyposis syndrome.
</pre>
 
====Micro====
=====Goblet cell type=====
The sections show colonic-type mucosa with superficial serrations rich in goblet cells.  There are no serrations in the crypt base and there is no crypt base dilation.  No dysplasia is present.
 
=====Generic=====
The sections show colonic-type mucosa with superficial serrations.  There are no serrations in the crypt base and there is no crypt base dilation.  No dysplasia is present.
