Squamous metaplasia in colonic adenomata: report of two cases.
Two cases of squamous metaplasia in colonic adenomata are reported. Since squamous metaplasia is known to occur rarely in the colon it is surprising that its occurrence in colonic adenomata has not been emphasized; this is more remarkable as its presence may have clinical significance as a precursor of rare forms of carcinoma of the colon.
