A 0.5 cm tubular adenoma with mild heterogeneous hyperplasia broad-based polyp was seen in the ascending colon, which was still in the category of benign lesions from the pathological findings, but there was a possibility of malignancy, requiring early surgical resection and regular physical examination for review.
Ascending colon is part of the large intestine, intestinal polyps are one of the common lesions in the digestive system. Combined with the cause of occurrence can be divided into inflammatory polyps, hyperplastic polyps, misshapen polyps, adenomatous polyps.
Among them, adenomatous polyps have a certain risk of becoming cancerous. Tubular adenomas are a common pathologic type of adenomatous polyps, which appear as mild heterogeneous hyperplasia and remain benign for the time being. Therefore, patients should not be too nervous and need early surgery to remove the polyp.
At present, endoscopic technology is more mature, through the enteroscope to ligation, electrocoagulation cauterization, etc., the intestinal polyp removal. After the operation, patients need regular physical examination and rechecking, usually about half a year to one year to recheck the colonoscopy. If intestinal polyps are found again, they need to be surgically removed and analyzed through pathological examination to prevent malignant lesions from being missed.
