It belongs to the category of tumors, some of which are carcinoids; it is between benign tumors and malignant tumors [cancer]. Pathological examination can be divided into tubular adenomas, villous adenomas and tubulovillous (mixed) adenomas, adenomatous polyps (including papillary adenomas) are the most common, inflammatory polyps, the result of hyperplasia of intestinal mucosa due to long-term inflammatory stimulation, hamartoma polyps, and others, such as mucosal hyperplasia to form hyperplastic polyps, lymphoid tissue hyperplasia, carcinoid and other diseases. Clinically, polyps can be single or multiple, with colorectal polyps being more common and having more obvious symptoms.

Polyps that meet the indications for endoscopic treatment can be removed endoscopically, and the resected specimens can be sent for pathological examination.
