    Abstract:
    Various subtypes of nonconventional dysplasia have been recently described in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We hypothesized that goblet cell deficient dysplasia and serrated dysplasia may be the primary precursor lesions for goblet cell deficient (GCDAC) and serrated (SAC) variants of colonic adenocarcinoma, respectively. Clinicopathologic features of 23 GCDAC and 10 SAC colectomy cases were analyzed. All dysplastic lesions found adjacent to the colorectal cancers (n = 22 for GCDACs and n = 10 for SACs) were subtyped as conventional, nonconventional, or mixed-type dysplasia. As controls, 12 IBD colectomy cases with well to moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma that lacked any mucinous, signet ring cell, low-grade tubuloglandular, or serrated features while retaining goblet cells throughout the tumor (at least 50% of the tumor) were evaluated. The cohort consisted of 19 (58%) men and 14 (42%) women, with a mean age of 53 years and a long history of IBD (mean duration: 18 y). Twenty-seven (82%) patients had ulcerative colitis. GCDACs (57%) were more often flat or invisible than SACs (10%) and controls (25%; P = 0.023). The GCDAC and SAC groups were more likely to show lymphovascular invasion (GCDAC group: 52%, SAC group: 50%, control group: 0%, P = 0.001) and lymph node metastasis (GCDAC group: 39%, SAC group: 50%, control group: 0%, P = 0.009) than the control group. Notably, GCDACs and SACs were more frequently associated with nonconventional dysplasia than controls (GCDAC group: 77%, SAC group: 40%, control group: 0%, P < 0.001). Goblet cell deficient dysplasia (73%) was the most prevalent dysplastic subtype associated with GCDACs ( P = 0.049), whereas dysplasias featuring a serrated component (60%) were most often associated with SACs ( P = 0.001). The GCDAC group (75%) had a higher rate of macroscopically flat or invisible synchronous dysplasia compared with the SAC (20%) and control (33%) groups ( P = 0.045). Synchronous dysplasia demonstrated nonconventional dysplastic features more frequently in the GCDAC (69%) and SAC (40%) groups compared with the control group (0%; P = 0.016). In conclusion, goblet cell deficient dysplasia and dysplasias featuring a serrated component could potentially serve as high-risk markers for GCDACs and SACs, respectively.
