*'''Star-shaped''' lumina.

*'''Crypt elongation''' but they are straight, narrow and hyperchromatic at the base. All crypts reach to the muscularis mucosae.<ref name=Stanford/>

The basement membrane is frequently thickened.<ref name=Stanford-hyperplastic/> This is the usual form of hyperplastic polyps, and they do not need to be reported as "mucin-rich".

===Histologic structure in goblet cell-rich type===

Elongated, fat crypts and little to no serration. Therefore, they may not be obvious without comparing to adjacent normal intestinal wall.<ref name=Stanford/>

They are filled with goblet cells, extending to surface, which commonly has a tufted appearance.<ref name=Stanford/>

===Epithelial misplacement===

Infrequently, the epithelium is misplacement into the submucosa. Such polyps have been termed "inverted hyperplastic polyps". They appear to be restricted to the sigmoid colon and rectum. The misplaced epithelium is mucin-depleted , similar to the basal 1/3 of the polyp. The misplacement is accompanied by the lamina propria, and is continuous with overlying polyp through a gap in the muscularis mucosae. It may require slices at multiple levels to demonstrate microscopically.<ref name=Stanford/>

In such cases adjacent hemorrhage and hemosiderin deposition is common. Collagen type IV stain will have a strong continuous staining around nests.<ref name=Stanford/>

===Cellular structure===

Nuclei are small, regular, round and basal in the luminal half of the crypts, most reliably evaluated near the luminal surface.<ref name=Stanford/>

;Sessile serrated adenoma

*A [[sessile serrated adenoma]] is suspected in case of any of the following:<ref name=Stanford-hyperplastic/>

:*Size ≥0.5 cm

:*Location in right colon

*Dilation of crypts

*Branching of crypts

{{Evaluation of tumors}} and ''[[Tubular colorectal adenoma]]''

===Microscopic report===

Usually as follows:

{|class=wikitable

| {{Moderate-begin}}<Sigmoid / Ascending / etc.> colon polyp, polypectomy:{{Moderate-end}} Hyperplastic polyp.

|}

Generally don't report hyperplastic polyp elements of polyps with potential malignant progression (such as [[tubular and ⁄or villous adenoma]]s), because the patient's clinical management will be based on the more concerning elements.
