Carpet polyps, also known as "hyperplastic polyps," are a type of growth that can occur in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the colon. They are typically small, benign lesions that often have a carpet-like appearance due to their flat, broad structure. While they are not cancerous and usually do not pose a significant health risk, their presence can sometimes be associated with certain conditions, such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Regular screening and monitoring are recommended to ensure they do not develop into more serious issues.
