A traditionalTraditional serrated adenoma (TSA)adenomas isare a formtype of premalignant serrated colonic polyp. They are a form of serrated polyp and considered a premalignant form..

Epidemiology

They are thoughthought to account for <1% of all colorectalcolonic polyps and 1-7% of all serrated lesions. They tend to occur in older patients (usually over 50 years) with no significant gender predilection.

Pathology

Many tend to be small (< 10 mm in size) and can be subclassified into BRAF and KRAS subtypes.

Location

They are found predominantly in the distal (left) colon with only rare occurrenceoccurrences in the proximal colon.
