'''Description''': Three sections can be seen. We’ll call the lower right section for section 1. Here we can see colonic crypts, and no villi. Goblet cells are present. Section 2 is the section above. Here we can see that the crypts contain bubble-like structures. No goblets cells are present.
 
Three sections can be seen.
 
We’ll call the lower right section for section 1. Here we can see colonic crypts, and no villi. Goblet cells are present.
 
Section 2 is the section above. Here we can see that the crypts contain bubble-like structures. No goblets cells are present.


The interesting part about section 3 is the epithelium that is stained brown. The staining is inside the nuclei and not in the cytosol of the stained cells. Also notice that the stalk in section 3. Otherwise is it similar to section 2.

* According to their microscopical features (tubular/villous/tubulovillous)
* According to their microscopical features (tubular/villous/tubulovillous)
* Whether dysplasia is present or not (hyperplastic/adenomatous)
* Whether dysplasia is present or not (hyperplastic/adenomatous)
[[File:Adenomatous colon polyp, p53 staining close-up.png|thumb|Note how it is the nuclei that contain p53 and not the cytosol. p53 is a nuclear protein.]]Polyps that look like mushrooms growing out of the mucosa are called ''pedunculated'' polyps. They have stalks that separate them from the colonic mucosa. Polyps that don’t have stalks and instead diffusely grow out of the mucosa are called ''sessile'' polyps. Pedunculated polyps are easier to remove, due to their stalk.

Polyps can also have villi on their surface, then they’re called ''villous'' polyps. Polyps with both villi and tubular structure are called ''tubulovillous'' polyps.

Lastly, if there’s no dysplasia in the polyp is it a ''hyperplastic'' polyp, which does not increase the risk for cancer. However, if there is dysplasia is it an ''adenomatous'' polyp, which does increase the risk for cancer.
