Background & Aims: The prevalence of advanced histology in small polyps has become a crucial issue in optimizing colorectal cancer screening strategies, especially in view of the advent of computed tomography colonography. We evaluated the prevalence of advanced histology in small and diminutive adenomas to clarify their clinical importance in terms of malignant potential. Methods: Data were reviewed retrospectively from 3291 colonoscopies performed on asymptomatic patients found to have an adenoma on screening with flexible sigmoidoscopy a few weeks before the colonoscopy or who had a family history of colorectal cancer. All polyps were excised endoscopically and sent for pathology testing. Specimens with advanced histology were confirmed by a second reading. Results: Of the 3291 colonoscopies performed, 1235 colonoscopies yielded a total of 1933 small or diminutive adenomatous polyps. Advanced histology including carcinoma was found in 10.1% of small (5-10 mm) adenomas and in 1.7% of diminutive adenomas (
