LPRL of the sigmoid colon display a distinct endoscopic profile, with features such as broad-based morphology, obscured vascular pattern, blurred crypts, and irregular spacing of sparse crypts. While generally non-neoplastic, focal histological dysplasia was identified in 50% of cases, warranting consideration of EMR.
Background Large prolapse-related lesions (LPRL) of the sigmoid colon have been documented histologically but may not be readily recognized endoscopically. Methods Colonic lesions referred for endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) were enrolled prospectively. Endoscopic features were carefully documented prior to resection. Final diagnosis was made based on established histologic criteria, including vascular congestion, hemosiderin deposition, fibromuscular hyperplasia, and crypt distortion. Results Of 134 large (>= 20mm) sigmoid lesions, 12 (9.0%) had histologic features consistent with mucosal prolapse. Distinct endoscopic features were: broad-based morphology; vascular pattern obscured by dusky hyperemia; blurred crypts of varying size and shape; and irregular spacing of sparse crypts. Focal histologic dysplasia was identified in 6 of 12 lesions (50.0%). Conclusions LPRL of the sigmoid colon exhibit a distinct endoscopic profile. Although generally non-neoplastic, dysplasia may be present, warranting consideration of EMR.
