Treatment of Colon Polyp in Ulcerative Colitis with Low-Grade Dysplasia in an Elevated Lesion

Clinical Scenario

This protocol addresses patients with ulcerative colitis in whom an elevated colorectal lesion containing low-grade dysplasia (LGD) is identified on surveillance, and a sporadic adenoma is considered highly probable based on lesion characteristics.

Why This Situation Requires Specific Guidance

In the setting of ulcerative colitis, distinguishing a sporadic adenoma from colitis-associated dysplasia is clinically significant. When the elevated lesion's morphology makes a sporadic adenoma highly probable, a defined and well-supported management pathway applies.

Management Approach

In this specific setting, an endoscopic intervention targeting the elevated lesion is the recommended course of action, supported by strong evidence with full agreement among guideline experts.
