A polyp is a small cell clump that grows within your body. When doctors talk about polyps, they refer to two groups distinguished by their growth pattern. Pedunculated polyps hang from a short stalk. Sessile polyps are flat and they grow directly out of the surrounding tissue. There are some...
A colon polyp typically looks like a raised surface or bump protruding from the wall of your large intestine. Colon polyps come in two different shapes – flat and mushroom-like. Sessile polyps lie flat against the colon lining. This can make them more difficult to find during a colonoscopy....
What’s a Polyp? It’s a small clump of cells that grows inside your body. There are 2 common types: The first hangs from a stalk. Doctors will call this pedunculated. The second is flat and grows directly out of the tissue around it. You’ll hear it called sessile. Some polyps are...
There are several types of hyperplastic polyps that vary according to their shape: pedunculated (long and narrow with a mushroom-like stalk), sessile (shorter and squat looking), and serrated (flat, short, and wide around the bottom). Developing multiple hyperplastic polyps in the colon is know...
A pedunculated polyp is one that has a stalk and looks more like a mushroom. Colon polyps are thought to be the precursor to colon cancer. Most people will
Colon cancer is a curable cancer if found early, and especially if it is diagnosed in a precancerousstate such as a polyp. Although surgery and chemotherapy have improved cure rates for colon cancer, it should be the goal of physicians and patients to diagnose colon lesions before they become...
The colonoscopy showed small, non-bleeding internal hemorrhoids and five sub-centimeter sessile polyps resected from the sigmoid colon, hepatic flexure, and transverse colon. A left-sided surgical anastomosis was also noted. Due to unremarkable findings, the patient underwent a small bowel follow-...
(oil component). This solution already includes methylene blue to improve visibility of the lesion and submucosal surface. By providing an immediate and long-lasting cushion beneath the polyp and improving the visibility of the lesion, Eleview®may help achieve a complete and safe removal of the...

A sessile polyp is a growth that is relatively flattened, in contrast with a pedunculated polyp, a growth that develops on a protruding stalk. These growths are usually benign in nature, although they can become malignant. When a polyp is identified, it is possible to conduct some diagnostic...
