No: I would ignore any description attached to the speciman at the time of biopsy. I know it can be torcher waiting for the results, but be patient.

No but maybe: Dysplasia in the polyp determines the nature and potential for malignancy not friability but large polyps with friable nature might indicate rapid growth.

No: Friable means it breaks apart easily during evaluation. It is a simple description of the specimen that has no particular importance. The final interpretation would say if the polyp was worrisome or not.
