Colonic Perineurioma’s Malignant Proximity to Serrated Colonic Polyps

A colonic perineurioma is often considered a benign cousin to a colonic polyp. However, in the submucosal type of perineurioma, it is important to rule out the malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Alternatively, in the BRAF-positive serrated types of perineuriomas, surveillance is equiva...

description A colonic perineurioma is often considered a benign cousin to a colonic polyp. However, in the submucosal type of perineurioma, it is important to rule out the malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Alternatively, in the BRAF-positive serrated types of perineuriomas, surveillance is equivalent to intervals designated to serrated polyps due to a similar malignant potential. These versions serve as reminders that colonic perineuriomas are not to be disregarded.
