Frequency of dysplasia in endoscopically resected pseudopolyps in inflammatory bowel diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Pseudopolyps have traditionally been considered sequelae of mucosal healing in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). However, recent retrospective studies suggest that pseudopolyps may harbor dysplasia or obscure neoplastic lesions. This prospective study aimed to assess the frequency of dysplasia in pseudopolypoid lesions endoscopically resected in IBD patients and to identify potential predictors of dysplasia.

Methods

We analyzed pseudopolypoid lesions resected during colonoscopies performed between June 2023 and March 2025 in patients with colonic IBD at a single tertiary center. Lesions macroscopically classified as pseudopolyps and completely resected were histologically analyzed and categorized as inflammatory pseudopolyps, inflammatory pseudopolyps w
