Background Patients with Lynch syndrome are at an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer, and the adenoma-carcinoma sequence is accelerated in these patients. However, the clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal neoplasms in Lynch syndrome patients are not well-known. Methods A total of 325 consecutive colorectal neoplasms were endoscopically removed from 68 patients with Lynch syndrome between June 2005 and May 2018 and retrospectively reviewed. Results Of the 325 lesions, 94 (29%), 220 (68%) and 11 (3%) were from patients with MLH1, MSH2 and MSH6 mutations, respectively. The median lesion size was 5 mm (range 2–40 mm), with 229 (71%) lesions having a non-polypoid morphology. The frequencies of advanced neoplasms, including high-grade adenomas, intramucosal carcinomas and submucosal invasive carcinomas were 14, 34, 97 and 93% for lesions with diameters of &amp;lt;5, ≥5 and &amp;lt;10, ≥10 and &amp;lt;20, and ≥20 mm, respectively. The frequencies of advanced neoplasms in the proximal colon, distal colon and rectum did not significantly differ (36, 35 and 41%, respectively). Conclusions Our results suggest that the malignant transformation interval from low-grade adenomas to advanced neoplasms is similar in all parts of the colon. Furthermore, since one-third of neoplastic lesions with diameters of ≥5 and &amp;lt;10 mm and most of those ≥10 mm were advanced neoplasms, we recommend that in Lynch syndrome patients, careful colonoscopic surveillance should be performed throughout the colon, and all neoplastic lesions, regardless of the size, should be subjected to detailed endoscopic examination, complete resection and detailed pathological examination.
