A colon polyp is a lining of mucosa which forms a mushroom shape. Colonic polyps have a stalk and is known as “pendulated”, and ones with no stalk are called “sessile”.
A colonic polyp, as it’s name suggests, is found in the colon. Usually, these polyps are benign but can potentially become more serious and even malignant if left unchecked. As always, you should see your doctor on oa regular basis so that conditions can be caught early on.
