AB Many  different  pathologic  processes  involving  the  mucosa  result  in  polyps  that  project  into  the  lumen  of  the  intestine.  Intestinal  polyps  may  be  foci  of  epithelial  hyperplasia,  epithelial  neoplasms,  hamartomas,  or  retention  polyps.  Not  all  polyps  are  associated  with  epithelial  proliferation.  Inflammation  (inflammatory  polyps),  lymphoid  hyperplasia  (lymphoid  polyps),  and  mesenchymal  neoplasms  (lipoma,  leiomyoma)  may  also  result  in  polyps  (Table  41-1).
