Abstract:Abstract: Objective?To investigate the pathological discrepancy between endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB) and endoscopic resection (ER) specimens for colorectal polypoid lesion, and analyze risk factors for the discrepancy and insufficiency of endoscopic forceps biopsy.?Methods?A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 52 cases of colorectal polypoid lesion, which EFB pathology including hyperplastic polyp, inflammatory polyp, adenoma with low-grade dysplasia (LGD), and adenoma with high-grade dysplasia (HGD). Different endoscopic resections including polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection, were chosen to remove these colorectal polypoid lesions based on the endoscopic classification and size of lesions. Clinical data, endoscopic characteristics, the pathological discrepancy between EFB and ER specimens were collected, and the risk factors for significant pathological discrepancy were analyzed.?Results?Among the 52 cases, there were 24 cases which EFB pathology were discrepant form ER specimen pathology, the overall pathological discrepancy rate between EFB and ER specimens was 46.2%. The pathological discrepancy rate of hyperplastic polyp, inflammatory polyp, adenoma with LGD, and adenoma with HGD diagnosed by EFB from ER specimen is 20.0%, 42.9%, 44.4%, and 54.5%, respectively. The size (?﹥?2.0 cm in diameter) and the congestive surface were risk factors associated with the pathological discrepancy between EFB and ER specimens (P?﹤?0.05).?Conclusion?EFB is insufficient for a definite pathological diagnosis of colorectal polypoid lesion. We should be careful of delayed and missed diagnosis for colorectal precancerous lesion and cancer in EFB.
