Physician to the president Dr. Kevin O'Connor said in a memo on Wednesday that results from President Joe Biden’s recent colonoscopy have identified a polyp found to be a “tubular adenoma.”

Released with the permission of the president, O'Connor said that the procedure on Nov. 19, which was previously said to have removed a “benign appearing 3 mm polyp” from Biden’s ascending colon, had allowed for further histological examination of the polyp.
