What is the difference between polyp and lymphoid hyperplasia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The polyp: can be of multiple types such as hyper plastic or dysplastic. When a lymphoid follicle close to the mucosal surface expands it can form into a polypoid like structure. This can be seen microscopically.
