What are Juvenile polyps?
They are polyps in children
Are Rectal polyps benign?
They may be either benign or malignant
Can benign polyps cause occult blood in stool?
yes
What are the different types of rectal polyps?
Rectal polyps can be classified into several types, primarily including adenomatous polyps, hyperplastic polyps, and sessile serrated adenomas. Adenomatous polyps are precancerous and can develop into colorectal cancer if left untreated. Hyperplastic polyps are generally benign and have a low risk of cancer, while sessile serrated adenomas have a higher potential for malignancy and may require closer monitoring. Other less common types include inflammatory polyps and juvenile polyps, which are typically found in children and also have a low risk of cancer.
Do rectal cancers come from polyps?
90% of colon and rectal cancers arise from polyps that are initially benign
Small growths arising from the epithelial lining of the colon are called?
Polyps. These are usually benign growths but can sometimes develop into cancer if left untreated. Regular colonoscopies are recommended to detect and remove any polyps before they become cancerous.
What is small benign growths that protrude from the mucous membrane of the large bowel?
The small benign growths that protrude from the mucous membrane of the large bowel are called polyps. Polyps are common in the colon and are usually non-cancerous, but they can potentially develop into colorectal cancer if not removed. Regular screening is recommended to detect and remove polyps early.
What is gallbladder cholestorolosis or polyps?
Growths or lesiions on the wall of the gallblader. Small ones are usually benign but larger ones can become cancerous.
What are polyps in the larynx?
Polyps in the larynx are noncancerous growths that can form on the vocal cords. They may cause hoarseness, a breathy voice, or a strained voice. Treatment can include voice therapy or surgery to remove the polyps.
Is a sessile polyp common?
Yes, sessile polyps are common and typically found in the colon. Unlike pedunculated polyps, which are attached to the intestinal wall by a stalk, sessile polyps have a flat base, making them more challenging to detect during screenings. While many sessile polyps are benign, some can be precursors to colorectal cancer, so regular screening and monitoring are important.
Are all colon polyps biopsied?
Not all colon polyps are biopsied. Typically, polyps that are larger or have concerning features during colonoscopy are biopsied to determine if they are cancerous or precancerous. Smaller, benign-looking polyps may be removed and sent for histological examination, but not all require a biopsy. The decision often depends on the size, type, and appearance of the polyp, as well as the patient's medical history.
What is definition of cervical polyps?
A cervical polyp is a common tumor, normally benign, which is found on the surface of the cervical canal. Though there are usually no symptoms associated with these polyps, they can cause irregular menstrual bleeding in some women. Removal of a cervical polyp is a simple medical procedure.
