Patients with hyperplastic polyposis syndrome (HPS) harbour multiple colorectal hyperplastic polyps and are at risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC).1 2 In two recent studies from our study group, we described the risk of CRC in patients with HPS during follow-up and the RR of CRC/polyps in first-degree relatives (FDRs) of patients with HPS compared to the general population.1 2 In reaction to our manuscripts, Orlowska3 recommends that a distinction be made between sessile serrated adenomas and traditional serrated adenomas. We agree with this remark, considering that these serrated polyp subtypes differ in histological and geographical characteristics and in molecular profiles.4 Considering that both studies from our group involved …
