I HAD A POLYP RFEMOVED THAT WAS HYPERPLASTIC, THE BIOPSIES SHOWED A PATTERN WITH ISCHEMIA. wHAT DOES THIS MEANS? HOW DID IT COME ABOUT? THANK YOU, EAP/SALEM
I assume that you had a polyp removed from your intestine through an endoscope, since you haven't mentioned the site. A hyperplastic polyp is simply a raised area in the intestine that is very commonly seen in individuals. It is not cancerous nor does it convert into cancer later on. All you need to do is maintain follow up with a gastroenterologist at 6 monthly intervals and whenever you get any symptoms.
