Serrated polyps were found to be precursor lesions for CRC. BRAF mutation (V600E) has been strongly linked to the development of these lesions. No previous study concerning BRAF immunohistochemical expression in serrated polyps-was done in Oman. The primary objective of our study was to assess the prevalence of BRAF (V600E) mutation in serrated colorectal polyps in the Omani population. The secondary objectives were to assess the prevalence of serrated polyps and their characteristic features: type, site and size as well as the relationship between BRAF (V600E) mutation and polyp type, site and size. Materials and methods: Ninety-one hyperplastic polyps (HP) (76.5%), 24 sessile serrated lesions (SSL) (20.2%) and 4 cases of tubular adenomas with low grade dysplasia (3.4%) were studied for BRAF (V600E) immunohistochemical expression. No case of traditional serrated adenoma (TSA) was present. Control cases of craniopharyngioma and papillary thyroid carcinoma were included. Results: BRAF (V600E) IHC was positive in 63 of the HP polyps (69.2%), 13 SSLs (54.2%) and none of the adenomatous polyps. The majority of positive polyps (75.0%) were ≤5 mm in size, 17.9% were 5-10 mm and 7.1% were ≥10 mm in size. The majority of BRAF (V600E) positive polyps (68.1 %) were in the distal colon and 31.9 % were in the proximal colon. The majority of positive cases for BRAF (V600E) were showing multiple polyps (61.8 %) . None of the tubular adenomas showed any BRAF (V600E) positivity. Conclusion: Serrated polyps are now well known for their potential to develop CRC. Immunohistochemistry is an easy and reproducible way to detect BRAF (V600E) mutation. Our study showed there is high prevalence (64.3%) of BRAF mutation in serrated polyps in the Omani population. The majority of these polypswere HP and SSL; and ≤5 mm in size and located in the distal colon.  \nKeywords: Colorectal cancer-colorectal polyp-serrated polyps-hyperplastic polyp-BRAF (V600E) mutation.  \nAsian Pac J Cancer Prev, 25 (7), 2567-2571  \nIntroduction  \nColorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed malignancy in the world [1] . In Oman, it is considered the second most common cancer among Omani males and the third most common cancer among Omani females, according to Oman Cancer Registry 2016 [2] .  \nThe initiation and progression of CRC is driven by a stepwise accumulation of genetic alterations. Thereis however considerable genetic heterogeneity, and tumor subtypes that evolve through different pathways. In the “classic” progression model, inactivation of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene is an early initiating event, followed by additional alterations, such as KRASandTP53 mutations. These classic tumors are more often located in the distal colon and rectum and genetically  \nthey frequently have chromosomal instability (CIN) . In this adenoma-carcinoma sequence, adenomatous polyps are the neoplastic precursor lesions ofadenocarcinoma [3] .  \nAnother type of colorectal polyps are the serrated polyps which are now believed to be precursor lesions to CRC through a distinct alternative pathway. Thirty years ago, these lesions were called “hyperplastic”polyps and were thought to have no malignant potential [4] . This concept was challenged by the observation of cancers developing inpatients with hyperplastic polyposis syndrome or in sporadically occurring hyperplastic polyps [5]. Serrated polyps represent in fact several sub-entities, some of which are precancerous.
