A Villous Adenoma B Tubular Adenoma

Villous adenoma Normal colonic mucosa Villous Adenoma A low power view of the colonic mucosa revelas a benign neoplasm composed of villi or "finger-like" mucosal projections (*). The adjacent mucosa contains normal glands.
A section of the colon reveals a broad based polyp which for the most part forms villi (>50%)
Villi are lined by an epithelium which is dysplastic, with cells containing enlarged, hyperchromatic and pseudostratified epithelium
