A tubulovillous adenoma is a tubiform (tube-shaped) and villiform (finger-shaped) cell polyp of the colon. It develops on the colon mucous and is not yet cancerous, but is linked to a great likelihood of developing into colorectal cancer with the passage of time. It is coded under ICD-10 as D12.6.
He examines your family and personal history of colon polyps or cancer, lifestyle, food, age and symptoms that you-ve had.
Surgery doctors like Dr. Chadha assist in examining the entire colon lining using the flexible scope equipped with a camera and identifying any irregular growths.
When the polyp is noted, then it is removed immediately and sent to the laboratory where it is analyzed by examining the tissues.
The sample will be examined by a pathologist who will determine whether the sample is tubular, villous or tubulovillous as well as whether it has precancerous or cancerous changes.
