Transcription: Polyp. A growth that protrudes from the mucous membranes, often looking like a tiny mushroom. Polyps may be found in the nose, ears, mouth, lungs, vocal cords, uterus, cervix, rectum, bladder, and intestine. Some polyps occurring in the cervix, intestine, stomach, or colon can eventually become malignant and should be removed.
