Popis: Laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) are being increasingly reported nowadays in Japan and the western countries with the application of magnification chromoendoscopy. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinicopathologic features of LSTs and to assess the outcome and safety of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) in China. One hundred nine patients with LSTs who underwent magnification chromoendoscopy were studied retrospectively. Clinicopathological features of 111 LSTs were analyzed. The efficacy and safety of EMR was assessed in 79 LSTs based on the outcome of follow-up colonoscopy and resection-related complications. A total of 111 LSTs were diagnosed in 109 patients, including 89 (80%) laterally spreading tumor-granular (LST-G) type and 22 (20%) laterally spreading tumor-non-granular (LST-NG) type. There was significant difference in the dominant pit pattern between LST-G type and LST-NG type (p
