AB Graphic  Jump  LocationView  Full  Size||Download  Slide  (.ppt)Figure  1Benign  polyps  can  vary  in  size  and  appearance.  These  features  can  often  predict  the  underlying  pathology  (e.g.,  adenomatous,  hyperplastic,  serrated,  and  inflammatory).  Here,  a  small  sessile  polyp  is  seen.  Sessile  refers  to  the  polyp  “sitting”  directly  on  the  mucosa  without  a  stalk.  This  is  the  most  frequent  appearance  encountered  when  finding  a  polyp.  Size  can  be  difficult  to  determine  for  less  experienced  endoscopists,  and  estimation  of  size  is  variable  by  different  endoscopists.  This  polyp  is  estimated  to  be  about  4  mm  in  size.
