| adenomatous polyps | Benign neoplasms derived from glandular epithelium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gastric polyps | <radiology> Hyperplastic (most common), adenoma, hamartoma, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, Cowden syndrome, inflammatory, Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, villous adenoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| cervical polyps | A benign growth projecting from the mucosa of the cervix. The cause is unknown but may be associated with local inflammation. They are more common in women over 20 who have had children. Some may cause bleeding and interfere with normal menstrual cycles. Diagnosis is by physical examination (pelvic exam). A PAP smear will be recommended since some cervical cancers may appear as a polyp. Treatment is surgical removal. (27 Sep 1997) |
| colon cancer and polyps | Benign tumours of the large intestine are called polyps. Malignant tumours of the large intestine are called cancers. Benign polyps do not invade nearby tissue or spread to other parts of the body. Benign polyps can be easily removed during colonoscopy, and are not life threatening. If benign polyps are not removed from the large intestine, they can become malignant (cancerous) over time. most of the cancers of the large intestine are believed to have developed from polyps. (12 Dec 1998) |
| polyps | A general descriptive term used with reference to any mass of tissue that bulges or projects outward or upward from the normal surface level, thereby being macroscopically visible as a hemispheroidal, spheroidal, or irregular moundlike structure growing from a relatively broad base or a slender stalk. Classically applied to a growth on the mucous membrane of the nose, the term is now applied to such protrusions from any mucous membrane. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nasal polyps | Focal accumulations of oedema fluid in the nasal mucosa accompanied by hyperplasia of the associated submucosal connective tissue. Polyps may be neoplasms, foci of inflammation, degenerative lesions, or malformations. (12 Dec 1998) |
| intestinal polyps | Pedunculated or sessile growths arising from the intestinal mucosa and extending into the lumen. The disease includes intestinal polyposis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| colonic | Relating to the colon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colonic angiodysplasia | <gastroenterology> Abnormal collections of blood vessels (vascular ectasias) usually located in the right colon in persons over age 60. Angiodysplasias account for 40% of the cases of recurrent or chronic lower GI bleeding in the elderly. Origin: Gr. Plassein = to form (27 Sep 1997) |
| colonic diverticula | Diverticula, which are herniations of mucosa and submucosa through or between fibres of the major muscle layer (muscularis propria) of the colon. Usually multiple, it occurs in 50% of western populations above the age of 70, but is much less common in other populations. Can cause bleeding and episodes of severe inflammation. Synonym: colonic diverticula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colonic diverticular haemorrhage | <radiology> Not related to diverticulitis, incidence: 3-47% of diverticulosis, location: 75% located in ascending colon (larger neck and dome of diverticula), massive painless rectal hemmorhage, extravasation of radionuclide tracer, angiographic contrast pooling in bowel lumen, Treatment: transcatheter infusion of vasoconstrictive agents (Pitressin), embolization (Gelfoam) see: diverticular disease of colon (12 Dec 1998) |
| colonic diverticulitis | <radiology> Perforation of diverticulum with intramural/localised paracolic abscess, incidence: 20-25% of diverticular disease, pneumoperitoneum rare CT findings: inflammation of pericolonic fat (98%), diverticula (84%), bowel wall thickening of 4-12 mm (70%), abscess (47%), fluid with or without air of peritonitis (16%); fistula (14%); obstruction (12%); intramural sinus tract (9%); ureteral obstruction (7%) extraluminal contrast with BE: double tracking: longitudinal sinus tract (Crohn disease: longer segments of greater than 10 cm), abscess; fistula see: diverticular disease of colon (12 Dec 1998) |
| colonic diverticulosis | <radiology> Acquired herniations of mucosa and muscularis mucosa through the muscularis propria with wall components of mucosa, submucosa, and serosa = false diverticula of propulsion type, lateral diverticula: arise between mesenteric and antimesenteric teniae on opposite sides, antimesenteric intertenial diverticula: through the weakness in the muscular wall where nutrient arteries pass, giant sigmoid diverticulum: large gas-containing cyst (air entrapment secondary to ball-valve mechanism) arising in the left iliac fossa see: diverticular disease of colon (12 Dec 1998) |
| colonic fistula | Internal, a fistula between the colon and a hollow viscus, external, a fistula between the colon and the skin. (05 Mar 2000) |
