10 Common Colon Polyp Types

3. Inflammatory colon polyp

An inflammatory colon polyp is mostly referred to as ‘false polyps' because they are usually benign and unlikely to become cancer. These growths are a manifestation of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and are commonly found in the colon of someone suffering from the condition. Inflammatory polyps of the colon are also found in people with Chron's disease and ulcerative colitis. Out of all the colon polyp types, this is probably the least intrusive one. It would still need to be removed but the likelihood of it becoming cancer is very slim.
