Resum

A serrated adenoma with low grade dysplasia was founded in the appendectomy specimen of a nineteen year old male intervened due to acute appendicitis. These lesions are infrequent, but might be associated with colorectal cancer and a serrated polyposis syndrome thought the “serrated pathway of carcinogenesis”. Actual evidence suggests that serrated polyps found in the appendix can differ from their colorrectal analogues. However, the same recommendations are regarded, and they should be completely removed when showing dysplasia, and be followed with routinely colonoscopy.
