A metaplastic polyp is a type of gastrointestinal polyp characterized by the transformation of one type of epithelial cell into another, often in response to chronic irritation or inflammation. These polyps are commonly found in the stomach and can be associated with conditions like chronic gastritis. Metaplastic polyps are generally considered benign but may have the potential for dysplasia in certain contexts. Regular monitoring and histological examination are important for determining their nature and any potential risks.
Not necessarily, although in general a metaplastic cell is abnormal. A cell can also be metaplastic due to incomplete differentiation or due to dedifferentiation.
