Polyp

A pedunculated tumor arising from a mucous membrane.

A growth that protrudes from a mucous membrane.

A stemmed growth that arises from the mucosa and extends into the lumen or opening of any body cavity.

A tumour growing on a stalk in mucous membrane, which can be cauterised. Polyps are often found in the nose, mouth or throat.

Growth or nodule, usually benign, most commonly arising from a mucous membrane (e.g., in the nose, ear, or uterus).

Small, fleshy, benign or precancerous growth that arises from the mucosa; often found in the colon and sinuses.

A mass of tissue that develops on the inside wall of a hollow organ. Polyps are usually benign and are commonly found in the nose or sinuses, the ear, the stomach, and the colon. Some types of polyps in the colon can become cancerous and are usually removed (polypectomy).

A growth, usually benign, protruding from a mucous membrane. Polyps are commonly found in the nose and sinuses, giving rise to obstruction, chronic infection, and discharge. They are often present in patients with allergic rhinitis, in whom they may develop in response to long-term antigenic stimulation. Other sites of occurrence include the ear, the stomach, and the bowel. Polyps are usually removed by cauterization.

A swelling or excrescence (tumor) emanating from a mucous membrane; commonly found in vascular organs such as the nose, uterus, colon, and rectum. Polyps bleed easily; if there is a possibility that they will become malignant, they should be removed surgically.

A growth that protrudes from a mucous membrane.

A fleshy, noncancerous tumor that is usually attached to normal tissue by a stem. Polyps found in the female reproductive system include cervical and endometrial polyps.

A small tumor-like growth that projects from a mucous membrane surface.

An anomalous formation of tissue that originates from and extends outward from a mucous membrane is known as a polyp.
