HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
A flat polyp may be referred to as sessile. Polyps are usually non cancerous so it is very unlikely that there is any significant risk that the lesion is dangerous.
Your doctor would be able to confirm or deny this after he receives the pathology report from the lab.
I hope this helps
