Colorectal polyp. 3D computed tomography (CT) scan showing a collection of polyps (round, centre) in the colon of a 60-year-old female patient. Polyps are benign (non-cancerous) growths that arise from mucous membranes. Although benign, polyps are generally removed surgically as their growth may obstruct the passage of food and some polyps may turn cancerous over time. | |
