RESUMO
BACKGROUND: IPAA is often required for patients with ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis after colectomy. This procedure reduces but does not completely eliminate the risk of neoplasia. OBJECTIVE: This study focuses on the histopathology of neoplasia in the ileal pouch, rectal cuff, and anal transition zone. DATA SOURCES: We performed a MEDLINE search for English-language studies published between 1981 and 2022 using the PubMed search engine. The terms "ileal pouch-anal anastomosis," "pouchitis," "pouch dysplasia," "pouch lymphoma," "pouch squamous cell carcinoma," "pouch adenocarcinoma," "pouch neoplasia," "dysplasia of rectal cuff," and "colitis-associated dysplasia" were used. STUDY SELECTION: Human studies of neoplasia occurring in the pouch and para-pouch were selected, and the full text was reviewed. Comparisons were made within and across studies, with key concepts selected for inclusion in this article. CONCLUSIONS: Neoplasia in the pouch is a rare complication in patients with IPAA. Annual endoscopic surveillance is recommended for familial adenomatous polyposis patients and ulcerative colitis patients with a history of prior dysplasia or carcinoma. In familial adenomatous polyposis, dysplastic polyps of the pouch are visible and readily amenable to endoscopic removal; however, glandular dysplasia in the setting of ulcerative colitis may be invisible on endoscopy. Therefore, random biopsies and adequate tissue sampling of the pouch and rectal cuff are recommended in this setting. The histological diagnosis of IBD-associated dysplasia can be challenging and should be confirmed by at least 1 expert GI pathologist. See video from the symposium.

High risk features in colorectal adenomatous polyps include size >1 cm and advanced histology: high-grade dysplasia and villous architecture. We investigated whether the diagnostic rates of advanced histology in colorectal adenomatous polyps were similar among institutions across the United States, and if not, could differences be explained by patient age, polyp size, and/or CRC rate. Nine academic institutions contributed data from three pathologists who had signed out at least 100 colorectal adenomatous polyps each from 2018 to 2019 taken from patients undergoing screening colonoscopy. For each case, we recorded patient age and sex, polyp size and location, concurrent CRC, and presence or absence of HGD and villous features. A total of 2700 polyps from 1886 patients (mean age: 61 years) were collected. One hundred twenty-four (5 %) of the 2700 polyps had advanced histology, including 35 (1 %) with HGD and 101 (4 %) with villous features. The diagnostic rate of advanced histology varied by institution from 1.7 % to 9.3 % (median: 4.3 %, standard deviation [SD]: 2.5 %). The rate of HGD ranged from 0 % to 3.3 % (median: 1 %, SD: 1.2 %), while the rate of villous architecture varied from 1 % to 8 % (median: 3.7 %, SD: 2.5 %). In a multivariate analysis, the factor most strongly associated with advanced histology was polyp size >1 cm with an odds ratio (OR) of 31.82 (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 20.52-50.25, p < 0.05). Inter-institutional differences in the rate of polyps >1 cm likely explain some of the diagnostic variance, but pathologic subjectivity may be another contributing factor.
