摘要

A colorectal polyp is a protrusion from the epithelium (derived from the Greek polupous (many footed), which became octopus or cuttlefish in French (polipe), and then nasal polyp in English). Flat and depressed polyps are described, but these are contradictions in terms (unless flat polyps are a feature seen in policemen, often known in English circles as having flat feet). When describing a polyp, it is important to mention location, size, and shape. This question focuses on the importance of polyps size and the pitfalls in estimating it.
