:''The [[stomach]] lesion is dealt with in [[hyperplastic polyp of the stomach]]''.
The '''hyperplastic polyp''' of the [[colon]] and rectum is very common. It is commonly abbreviated '''HP'''.
 
==General==
*Most common type of polyp:
**Approximately 90% of all colonic polyps.<ref name=Ref_PBoD858>{{Ref PBoD|858}}</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/>

- 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.

===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.
