Pedunculated polyps as described in this scenario are usually submucosal in origin; thus, initial mucosal biopsy is normal. Submucosal tumors of the esophagus are usually benign.

Pedunculated colon polyps. This type grows from a stalk, similar to a mushroom. The head or top of a pedunculated polyp can become cancerous.
