A member asked:

What is pedunculated lesion?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

On a stalk: Pedunculated lesions (in the colon, on the skin, etc) are growths (either benign or malignant) that stick out from the surface ( ie they are on a stalk). This contrasts with growths that are flat on the surface of the skin or membrane.
