Endoscopic diagnosis of sessile serrated polyp: A systematic review.

The aim of the present review was to clarify how we should detect and diagnose sessile serrated polyps (SSP) endoscopically. A systematic search was conducted of MEDLINE from January 2004 through March 2018. Nine findings: (i) proximal location; (ii) size >10 mm; (iii) irregular shape; (iv) indistinctive border; (v) cloud-like surface; (vi) mucus cap; (vii) rim of debris in white-light endoscopy; (viii) dilated vessels; and (ix) dilated crypts (pits) in image-enhanced endoscopy were considered to be candidate discriminators of SSP from hyperplastic polyps. Prospective studies in a general setting are warranted to validate the above-mentioned endoscopic features of SSP during real-time colonoscopy and to determine whether these features are useful for the differential diagnosis of SSP.
