Hi and welcome to HCM.
This is up to you. You have few options. YOu can remove it now and be calm. YOu can follow its size by frequent check ups or you dont remove it ever. COnsidering positive family history for cancer it is advisable to remove adenomas. YOu ll probably do it now or later. It can be done through mnor incision with minimal scarring. Wish you good health.
