Is hyperplastic intestinal polyp serious?

Hyperplastic intestinal polyps, mainly to see the size of the polyps to judge the severity, if the polyps less than 2 cm below, most are hyperplastic, do not need special attention, as long as the endoscopic polypectomy, most can achieve clinical cure. If the polyps are relatively large, in more than 3 cm or larger polyps, there may be malignant change at the top of the hyperplastic polyps, also known as atypical hyperplasia. If severe atypical hyperplasia is reached, it may be considered cancerous, which requires active endoscopic ESD or EMR resection. Severe cases with metastasis to other places require active surgical treatment. In short, if the hyperplastic polyp is small, it is not particularly serious; if the polyp is large, it is serious and requires active medical or surgical treatment.
