Gastrointestinal polyposes: clinical, pathological and molecular features

Gastroenterol Clin North Am. 2007 Dec;36(4):927-46, viii. doi: 10.1016/j.gtc.2007.08.009.

Abstract

This article focuses mainly on noninflammatory epithelial polyposes, particularly the diagnostically important morphological and molecular features of the more recently recognized and/or more poorly understood conditions. One of the most important, but often neglected, of these is hyperplastic polyposis.
