General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Generally, mucosa, or the lining of the GI tract is relatively smooth in appearance.
Nodular mucosa is a lumpy-bumpy appearance that can be due to inflammation or certain benign conditions. Such mucosa would be biopsied and studied by means of histopathological examination to assist in the diagnosis.
Presence of single polyp should not be much of a problem to be worried about.
Kindly consult Gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management. Regular follow-up might be necessary, depending on the symptoms you would be having.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
