What is as flat villous lesion?

A flat villous lesion is a type of growth that appears as a flat, broad-based lesion with a velvety or villous (finger-like) texture, often found in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the colon. These lesions are typically non-polypoid and can be associated with conditions such as colorectal cancer or dysplasia. Due to their subtle appearance, they may be challenging to detect during routine examinations. Early identification and monitoring are crucial for managing potential malignancy.
