The Most Common Types Of Colon Polyps And Polyp Disorders

Villous, Tubular, & Tubulovillous Adenomas

Adenomatous polyps are grouped into three types. The two less common forms are the villous and tubulovillous adenomas, and they represent about fifteen percent of colon polyps and are prone to developing into cancer more than other types. Villous and tubulovillous adenomas are noticeably characterized by their flat appearance, whereas tubular polyps are more rounded. Tubular polyps can become cancerous if not detected early, and are caused by mutations inherited genetically or from environmental factors.
