  1. 1Anatomical location. Cecum (C). Ascending (A). Transversal (T).
  2. 2Crypt branching was defined by the appearance of splits or fissures in the base of the crypts.
  3. 3Hypermucinous appearance.
  4. 4P-values were calculated by Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables and unpaired t-test for continuous variables. P-values below 0.05 are in bold type.
