A member asked:
Does right maxillary polyp need to be removed or intervented if it is very small?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If it is precancerous or predisposes to recurrent sinus infection, yes. If it was discovered incidentally, and has no health implications, no. Polyps, particularly small ones, are exceedingly common.
