Pathologic sections of intestinal polyps are usually done to examine the nature of the polyp and the presence of malignant changes.
Intestinal polyps are bulging lesions protruding into the intestinal lumen. After intestinal polypectomy, pathological examination is usually required to distinguish the pathological type of intestinal polyps and to exclude whether malignant changes have occurred, which is important for further treatment.
Different pathological types of intestinal polyps have different treatments and prognosis. Pathologically, they can be divided into: adenomatous polyps, inflammatory polyps, hyperplastic polyps and misshapen polyps, etc. For example, adenomatous polyps belong to the pre-cancerous lesions of colon cancer, and they belong to the types of polyps that have high recurrence rate and easy to be malignant, so they should be examined by pathological examination to exclude malignant lesions after resection, and they need to be regularly rechecked by endoscopic examination.
Pathologic section of intestinal polyps, if abnormal, should be clearly diagnosed with the help of a doctor, and actively targeted treatment or therapy.
