Abstract

The histopathological characteristics of colorectal submucosal invasive carcinoma arising in sessile serrated adenoma/polyp (SSA/P), a rare malignant tumour, have not yet been fully elucidated. To investigate the features of such, we retrospectively analysed 40 submucosal invasive carcinomas with SSA/P (CA-SSA/P) and compared them to 129 cases of submucosal invasive carcinoma with conventional tubular adenoma (CA-AD). We additionally performed hMLH1 immunostaining. CA-SSA/Ps were significantly smaller than CA-ADs (P < 0.001). Histologically, well to moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma was predominant in both CA-SSA/Ps and CA-ADs. No significant differences in depth of invasion were found between the two groups. However, lymphatic invasion was more often found in CA-SSA/Ps (30%) than in CA-ADs (13%; P = 0.028), as was lymph node metastasis (CA-SSA/Ps, 28%; CA-ADs, 7%; P = 0.011). Furthermore, mucinous component and serrated architecture were significantly more frequent in CA-SSA/Ps (30 and 63%) than in CA-ADs (5 and 18%; P < 0.001, respectively). Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes and Crohn-like inflammatory reaction were also more frequently found in CA-SSA/Ps (70 and 30%) than in CA-ADs (31 and 9%; P ≤ 0.001, respectively), whereas the opposite was true of desmoplastic reaction (CA-SSA/Ps, 35%; CA-ADs, 67%; P < 0.001). Loss of hMLH1 expression was more frequent in CA-SSA/P cases (93%) than in CA-AD cases (5%; P < 0.001). In conclusion, CA-SSA/P lesions exhibit a higher potential for lymphatic invasion and lymph node metastasis and have distinct histopathological features, including mucinous component, serrated architecture, tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes, Crohn-like inflammatory reaction, and absence of desmoplastic reaction, compared to their conventional counterparts.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 September 2017.
All research outputs
#15,479,632
of 23,002,898 outputs
Outputs from Virchows Archiv
#1,281
of 1,967 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#199,622
of 318,242 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Virchows Archiv
#17
of 29 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,002,898 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,967 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 318,242 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 29 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
