title: [Endoscopic-pathologic correlation of rectocolonic lesions less than 10 mm].
abstract: Ninety eight rectocolonic lesions up to 10 mm in diameter found in 50 patients were analyzed. The relationship between endoscopic and pathologic diagnosis was established. Emphasis was made on the detection of adenomas based in the following: Yamada III or IV lateral vision, Yamada I and II with smooth but erythematous surface, and in pale with irregular surface lesions. The sensitivity of the method was 92% and the specificity was 72% for adenomas. Six percent of adenomas were pale, with mucous hypersecretion on histopathology, and can be mistaken for hyperplastic polyps. This mucous hypersecretion correlates with low grade dysplasia, which supposedly indicates a lower evolutive risk.
