QuizQuestion
A 64yearold man has a benign lesion of the colon. He is informed that the lesion does not predispose to colon cancer. What is the lesion he has?
a
Ulcerative colitis
b
Villous adenoma
c
Hyperplastic polyp
d
Adenoma in familial polyposis
e
Colon mucosa in a patient with colon carcinoma
All the choices listed except hyperplastic polyp are precancerous lesions. The carcinomas in ulcerative colitis and familial polyposis are multicentric.
Large villous adenomas may have carcinomatous changes. Any patient with a colon carcinoma is predisposed to develop a metachronous lesion in the
remaining colon, hence the importance of regular followup examinations in these patients.
