Serrated polyps are a type of growth found in the lining of the colon and rectum. They are named for their saw-toothed appearance under microscopic examination. These polyps are significant because they can be precursors to colorectal cancer. There are three main types of serrated polyps: hyperplastic polyps, sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/P), and traditional serrated adenomas (TSA).
