Polypoid

Fungations and polypoid protuberances afford safe opportunities for the removal of specimens of tissue. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

Excessive polypoid tissue hypertrophy should be excised. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

The gum almost buries the teeth, and large polypoid masses form which tend to fungate. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)

Girls are apt to be found affected with polypoid excrescences at the meatus, which when removed will cause the enuresis to disappear. ❋ Peter Charles Remondino (1886)

Furnished with these facts, it is not difficult to recognize true beroidal forms in the embryos of sea-urchins and star-fishes, published by Muller in his beautiful plates, and thus to trace the medusoid origin of the echinoderms, as the polypoid origin of the medusae has already been recognized. ❋ Agassiz, Louis (1885)

The most prominent symptoms of polypoid growths are hemorrhage, which is almost invariably present, leucorrhea, pain, backache, and a sense of weight and dragging in the pelvis. ❋ Ray Vaughn Pierce (1877)

Muller in his beautiful plates, and thus to trace the medusoid origin of the echinoderms, as the polypoid origin of the medusae has already been recognized. ❋ Louis Agassiz (1840)

Invaginations account for 2/3 of small bowel occlusion caused by up to 80% of tumors and the lipoma is the most frequent benign tumor that causes invagination in its submucous polypoid and it is in more or less scissile form. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Comments: On routine examination of the cecum during screening colonoscopy, a 76 year-old man is noted to have a small amount of polypoid tissue extruding from the appendiceal orifice. ❋ Unknown (2010)

A colonoscopy with double balloon enteroscopy showed multiple large polypoid lesions throughout the visualized small bowel, causing intussuception. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Histopathology of polypoid lesions showed arborizing pattern with smooth muscle fibers consistent with Hamartomatous Polyps. ❋ Unknown (2010)

A computer tomography of the abdomen and pelvis showed gastric polyps and dilated loops of bowel with obstruction from large polypoid lesions. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Upon entry into the stomach, multiple large polypoid lesions were found throughout the stomach as well as duodenum. ❋ Unknown (2010)

When they develop in groups or clusters they form a 'polypoid angioma'.

"Flat and depressed adenomas are inherently more difficult to visualize with standard colonoscopy, while being more likely to harbor high-grade dysplasia or invasive carcinoma than polypoid lesions, irrespective of size," explains Dr. Kahi. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Dr. Kahi also looked at whether chromocolonoscopy improved detection of non-polypoid growths in the colon, including flat or depressed lesions, which are an increasingly recognized precursor for colorectal cancer. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Main Characteristics Radial symmetrical  include the hydroids, jellyfish, anemones, and  corals have tentacles with stinging cells in their tips  which are used to capture and subdue prey one of two basic body types, polypoid or  medusoid. ❋ Unknown (2009)
