An adenomatous polyp, commonly referred to as an adenoma, is a type of growth that occurs in the lining of the colon or rectum. These polyps are considered precancerous, meaning they have the potential to develop into colorectal cancer if left untreated. Adenomas can vary in size and shape, and their removal is often recommended during colonoscopy to reduce the risk of cancer. Regular screening and surveillance are important for early detection and management.
