A member asked:
Is 8 mm large for a cecum polyp? i'm 37 yo. should i be concerned? biopsy said benign. wasn't removed.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: 8mm is moderately large, if it was an adenoma it should be removed completely...Though if was non specific inflammation or a lipoma excision is not needed.
