Polyp Adenomatous

Adenomatous polyp (lat. polypus adenomatosus) is a benign neoplasm of glandular origin, which is a protrusion of the mucous membrane, covered with multi-row columnar epithelium.

Adenomatous polyps can occur in various organs and tissues in which glands are present - in the colon and small intestine, stomach, bladder, prostate gland, etc.

Adenomatous polyps are characterized by an asymptomatic course, but if they are large in size they can lead to dysfunction of the organ. In addition, adenomatous polyps have the potential for malignant transformation, and therefore require regular monitoring and timely surgical treatment.
