English term or phrase: Stalk (in the context)
Hi!

It's a dialogue between the doc and the patient. It goes like this:

-You have a polyp at the neck of your cervix.
-What's a polyp?
-It is a small fragile bulbous growth on a stalk protruding through the cervix.

Thanks in advance :)

Por lembrarem a forma de um caule são denominados pelo mesmo substantivo em inglês (stalk), mas no contexto médico é pedículo/pedúnculo em PT-BR. A forma pedículo é muito mais usada, busque no Google, Todas as Palavras, por 'pedúnculo pólipo' e por 'pedículo pólipo' e veja a diferença...
