How can you use “polyps” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Once daily oral administration of aspirin (25 mg/kg) for four weeks had no effect on the number of polyps in the intestinal tract of Min /+ mice.
In addition, one animal was found to possess no small or large intestinal polyps.
[ 6 ] demonstrated that Min /+ mice at approximately 11 weeks of age possessed roughly 35-40 polyps and that treatment (starting at 11 weeks of age) for as little as 4 days with sulindac produced a 75% reduction in polyp number.
The Min /+ model has received great favour because it contains a mutation in the Apc gene, which is homologous to the human adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene [ 23 ] . Defects in the APC tumour suppressor gene are thought to play a role in greater than 70% of all colorectal cancers and is responsible for inherited syndromes of polyposis (FAP and Gardner's) [ 24 25 ] . Furthermore, in humans the majority of colorectal cancers arise from adenomatous polyps [ 26 ] .
Because there is no established treatment to prevent adenomatous polyps, few commentators would have any objections to the use of placebo controls in this study.
