ileocecal
An ileocecal polyp is a growth that forms in the ileocecal region, which is the junction where the small intestine (ileum) meets the large intestine (cecum). These polyps can vary in size and may be benign or precancerous. While many ileocecal polyps do not cause symptoms, they can sometimes lead to complications such as obstruction or bleeding. Regular monitoring and removal may be recommended if the polyps are found to have a high risk of cancer.
