If you have a finger like projection in the small intestine, seen by a scope, or X-ray? If seen by scope, it's usually a polyp. They are fairly common, in the large bowel they would remove it during a colonoscopy. In the small bowel if they have seen with a scope it has to be close to the stomach or close to large bowel. I would think they would remove polyps they can see. It doesn't hurt, and they would send it to the lab. to have it checked.
