Actually I was looking for any word after the word tubulovillous. But I will go forward and I would suggest that you speak with your lower GI specialist soon.

These type polyps are most often the type that are more often found to have or to become cancerous in nature.

Go to this site and read for the full explanation of the word. I would have a talk with the doctor after your biopsy comes back.

Let me know if you need further assistance on this matter.

Villous adenoma or tubulovillous adenoma- About 15% of polyps removed are of this type. This is a much more serious type of polyp that has a very high cancer risk as it grows larger. Often they are larger and sessile and not on a stem making removal more difficult. Smaller ones can be removed in piecemeal fashion - sometimes over several colonoscopies. Larger sessile villous adenomas may require surgery for complete removal. Follow up depends on size and completeness of removal.
