Most colon polyps are harmless. But over time, some colon polyps can develop into colon cancer, which is often fatal when found in its later stages. There are two main categories of polyps, non-neoplastic and neoplastic. Non-neoplastic polyps include hyperplastic polyps, inflammatory polyps and hamartomatous polyps.

Polyps appear as lumps inside the colon. Some are flat and others hang down from a stalk. Each polyp is biopsied and tissue from the polyp is sent to a lab and tested for cancer. While it can be nerve-wracking waiting for the lab results, remember that it takes as many as 10 years for a polyp to become cancerous.

Two Types of Polyp Shapes Polyps grow in two different shapes: flat (sessile) and with a stalk (pedunculated). Sessile polyps are more common than previously thought and harder to detect in colon cancer screening. They lie flat against the surface of the colon's lining, also known as the mucous membrane.
