definition: small, noncancerous growths that occur in the intestine, most frequently in the rectum and colon, and which are not inherited. Sporadic intestinal polyps may become cancerous if they grow larger than an inch in diameter. The three main kinds are adenomatous polyps (tubular), villous polyps, and intermediate polyps (tubulovillous). Sporadic intestinal polyps usually do not cause symptoms, but they can cause intermittent bleeding and obstruction of the passage of waste material if they are large enough. (en)
