Polyp
A mass of tissue that develops on the inside wall of a hollow organ, as within the colon or rectum.
The word polyp comes from the Greek words polys, many + pous, feet.
The idea that a polyp has many feet is erroneous.
Most polyps have a single pedicle.
The term polyp is descriptive.
Polyps may be benign, premalignant, or malignant
