Abstract: | Summary The volume of the adenomatous mucosa (V), the area of the surface epithelium (Ss), the area of the glandular epithelium (Sg), and theSg:Ss ratio were calculated in a series of 14 adenomatous polyps (APs) of a case of multiple polyposis of the colon. The equation of simple allometry was used to study the relative growth of the four series of values.Ss grew isometrically with size;Sg overgrewSs and accounted for most of the increase inV. TheSg:Ss ratio increased withSg andV. |
