1. Will anal papilloma turn into cancer if it grows bigger?

Anal papillae are a normal structure of the human body. They usually grow near the tooth line. There are usually six to seven anal papillae, which are invisible to the naked eye under normal circumstances.

Under certain stimulations, especially those caused by hemorrhoids, anal fissures, anal fistulas, and proctitis, the anal papillae will proliferate and hypertrophy, and grow into tumor-like things, which we also call anal papillary fibromas. According to current clinical research, anal papillary fibroma has the potential to become malignant, but the chance of malignancy is relatively low. Once anal papillary fibroma is discovered, it must be surgically removed to prevent the possibility of later malignancy.
