Polyps are abnormal growths that start in the inner lining of the colon or rectum. Some polyps are flat while others have a stalk. Colorectal polyps can grow in any part of the colon. Most often, they grow in the left side of the colon and in the rectum.

What are flat polyps? Polyps are lesions found in the colon that are removed during colonoscopy. Many of them would never cause a serious health problem, but some are adenomas — precancerous growths that could turn cancerous over time.

Non-neoplastic polyps include hyperplastic polyps, inflammatory polyps and hamartomatous polyps. These types of polyps typically do not become cancerous. Neoplastic polyps include adenomas and serrated types. In general, the larger a polyp, the greater the risk of cancer, especially with neoplastic polyps.

About Vocal Cord Dysplasia. Vocal cord dysplasia is a pre-cancerous condition of the vocal cords. In its severe form, it is sometimes diagnosed as vocal cord carcinoma-in-situ, which is not cancer per se, but one step short of becoming cancer.

The word “dysplasia” means “abnormality of development”. Hip dysplasia is a canine genetic condition in which there is a tendency towards development of hip laxity early in life. Hip dysplasia is not congenital because affected dogs are born with morphologically normal hips.

When they first develop, colorectal polyps are typically non-cancerous (benign); however, there is a potential for some polyps to become cancerous (malignant) over time if a physician does not detect and remove them.

PV dysplasia is described by thickened and nodular valvular leaflets with no or minimal commissural fusion, hypoplasia of the valve ring, and absence of poststenotic dilation of the pulmonary artery (PA).

These types of polyps typically do not become cancerous. Neoplastic polyps include adenomas and serrated types. In general, the larger a polyp, the greater the risk of cancer, especially with neoplastic polyps.

Gallbladder polyps A gallbladder polyp is a growth that bulges from the surface of the inner gallbladder wall. Some polyps are formed by cholesterol deposits in the gallbladder wall. Others may be small tumors (either cancer or not cancer) or may be caused by inflammation.

Oral epithelial dysplasia is a term used to describe harmful changes in the cells that make up the lining (epithelium) of the mouth. The changes occur because of damage to the cells' DNA by cancer causing chemicals (carcinogens).

Both pedunculated and sessile polyps can turn into benign (non-cancerous), precancerous and cancerous polyps.

Doctors don't know why colon polyps form, and not every type of polyp is considered precancerous. However, two-thirds of polyps found through colonoscopy are likely precancerous, Dr. Sand said.

Most colon polyps are harmless. But over time, some colon polyps can develop into colon cancer, which is often fatal when found in its later stages. There are two main categories of polyps, non-neoplastic and neoplastic. Non-neoplastic polyps include hyperplastic polyps, inflammatory polyps and hamartomatous polyps.

Duct-acinar dysplasia of the prostate is defined as a premalignant lesion characterized by. cytologic, and especially nuclear, abnormalities that resemble those of carcinoma and affect. the lining epithelial cells of preexisting ducts and acini.

Kidney dysplasia is a condition in which the internal structures of one or both of a fetus' kidneys do not develop normally while in the womb. During normal development, two thin tubes of muscle called ureters grow into the kidneys and branch out to form a network of tiny structures called tubules.

Are They Cancerous? Colon polyps don't usually turn into cancer, though bleeding colon polyps might be an early sign of colon cancer. In general, the larger the polyp is, the greater the risk of cancer — particularly with neoplastic polyps (which include adenomas and serrated types of polyps).
