A colon polyp is a small clump of cells that forms on the lining of the colon. Most colon polyps are harmless. But over time, some colon polyps can develop into colon cancer, which may be fatal when found in its later stages. Anyone can develop colon polyps.
A polyp is the result of genetic changes in the cells of the colon lining that affect the normal cell life cycle. Many factors can increase the risk or rate of these changes. Factors are related to your diet, lifestyle, older age, gender and genetics or hereditary issues.
Sessile polyps are dome-shaped and grow flat on your colon wall. About 85% of polyps are in this group. Sessile polyps can be snared and removed somewhat easily in a colonoscopy, though larger ones are typically taken out in pieces. Pedunculated polyps hang from a stalk attached to your colon wall.
Hyperplastic polyps — Hyperplastic polyps are usually small, located in the end-portion of the colon (the rectum and sigmoid colon), have no potential to become malignant, and are not worrisome (figure 1).
Cancer risk for sessile polyps Sessile serrated polyps are an example of neoplastic polyps. They are one of the most concerning types of polyp because a person can go for years without realizing that they are present. During this time, the unmonitored polyps may develop into cancer.

Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
