Is rectal polyp benign or malignant

summary

Rectal polyp is a common anorectal disease, we all know that this lesion can be divided into benign and malignant. From the appearance analysis, we can see that the lobulated polyps are easy to malignant, and the smooth and round polyps are less. Juvenile polyps are actually hamartomatous polyps, not true tumors. They mostly occur in the colon and rectum of infants and children, which is the common cause of hematochezia in children. The probability of malignant transformation of this polyp is very small, but long-term chronic blood loss will affect children who are in a critical period of growth and development. When the disease is found in the examination, the pathological biopsy must be done to confirm its nature. Here is a brief introduction.

Is rectal polyp benign or malignant

First, the clinical manifestations of this disease are mostly asymptomatic, most of which are found in physical examination. If polyp is bigger, often suffer fecal friction, can make its mucous membrane erosion, fecal blood and mucus. If we have the symptom of this disease, when we go to the hospital for examination, if we touch it with a speculum or instrument in time, it is easy to bleed. Most of the patients are malignant polyps. If there is no bleeding symptom in the affected area, it is benign.

Second: we can also analyze from another angle that polyps without ulcer are benign. When they become malignant, they can form ulcer, especially polyps with pedicle usually do not cause ulcer. Once ulcer occurs, it indicates that they have malignant changes. From the rectal type analysis, most of the pedicled tubular adenomas are benign, and the rate of malignant transformation is relatively low.

Thirdly, according to the analysis of the activity of rectal polyps, solid and sessile polyps are prone to malignant transformation, while those with pedicle and activity are relatively low. When the disease is found, we must make a pathological biopsy to confirm its nature. Distinguishing the nature of rectal polyps is an important guarantee for the choice of surgical treatment and the prognosis of patients.

matters needing attention

At present, rectal polyps are more harmful. If you have rectal polyps, whether benign or malignant, you should have surgical treatment. Although it may be a benign condition now, it has the possibility of malignant transformation. Generally, it is better to have surgical treatment as soon as possible after diagnosis.
