rectal hyperplastic<br />

polyps should be<br />

considered to have<br />

normal<br />

colonoscopies, and<br />

therefore the <strong>in</strong>terval<br />

before the<br />

subsequent<br />

colonoscopy should<br />

be 10 years. An<br />

exception is patients<br />

<strong>with</strong> a hyperplastic<br />

polyposis syndrome.<br />

They are at <strong>in</strong>creased<br />

risk for adenomas<br />

and colorectal cancer<br />

and need to be<br />

identified for more<br />

<strong>in</strong>tensive follow up.<br />

2. Patients <strong>with</strong> only<br />

one or two small (<<br />

1 cm) tubular<br />

adenomas <strong>with</strong> only<br />

low-grade dysplasia<br />

should have their<br />

next follow-up<br />

colonoscopy <strong>in</strong> 5 to<br />

10 years. The precise<br />

history, and the<br />

preferences of the<br />

10 adenomas, or any<br />

adenoma > 1 cm, or<br />

any adenoma <strong>with</strong><br />

villous features, or<br />

high-grade dysplasia<br />

should have their<br />

piecemeal removal<br />

follow-up<br />

colonoscopy is<br />

normal or shows<br />
