What treatment is available to treat polypoid mucosal thickening in the posterior nasopharynx?

Polyps in the colon can be broadly classified as pre-cancerous polyps or polyps without cancer potential. The polyps are seen during colonoscopy. Your endoscopist will look at the polyp and magnify the scope to visualise the surface characteristics of the polyp. If all the features are consistent with a polyp which has no cancer potential, it can be left alone. If the polyp looks like a pre-cancerous polyp, your endoscopist will remove it whenever possible. If your endoscopist is unsure, the polyp is removed for confirmation.

A tongue polyp is medically known as a fibroepithelial polyp. It is a benign condition that usually appears after some trauma to the tongue (e. g. after accidental tongue biting). Most tongue polyps do not cause symptoms. Other tongue lesions that can look like a tongue polyp include a papilloma and fibroma. Fortunately, they are also benign lesions. I would suggest a visit to an ENT Specialist for an assessment. A tongue polyp can be removed by a simple surgical excision under local anaesthesia.
