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.

General

  • Rare.
  • Benign.[1]

Features:

  • Serrated epithelial cells (at the surface of the gland) - key feature.
