“…In our series, FGP were multiple in most cases, with a diameter of <1 cm and were most frequent in the fundus. Our observations confi rmed previous reports that FGP occurred within the body and fundus (1,3,7,15) . Histological examination of HP in our series showed that only (0.9%) of the 109 cases had focal carcinoma in the form of a large, pedunculated polyp 4 cm in diameter located in the gastroenteroanastomosis resulting from Billroth II gastrectomy.…”

-Background -Gastric polyps are small gastric lesions, asymptomatic in most cases and are generally discovered inadvertently during upper digestive endoscopy. Aim -To retrospectively review the characteristics and frequency of gastric polyps, derived from the gastric mucosal epithelium in a large series of endoscopies. Methods -One hundred and fi fty three patients in a series of 26,000 consecutive upper digestive endoscopies done over a 5-year period, being that each patient had only one examination were analyzed and their histological and Yamada classifi cation, as well as their location, size, histopathological fi ndings and treatment studied. All patients had at least one gastric polyp, as confi rmed by histological examination. Results -The polyps were classifi ed as hyperplastic, adenomatous and fundic gland polyps. The most of them measure less than 1 cm (hyperplastic polyps -60,5%; adenomatous polyps -73,6%; fundic gland polyps -72%). Hyperplastic polyps were the most frequent and accounted for 71.3% of the cases, whereas fundic gland polyps accounted for 16.3% and adenomatous polyps for 12.4%. Hyperplastic and adenomatous polyps were primarily single, whereas fundic gland polyps tended to be multiple. A carcinoma was detected in one hyperplastic polyp (0.9%) and in two adenomatous polyps (10.5%). High grade dysplastic foci were found in four adenomatous polyps (21%). Conclusions -The digestive endoscopy is the safest and effi cient method for the diagnosis of the gastric polyps, that in most of the patients does not show characteristic symptoms. The histopathological defi nition is not possible to the endoscopic glance being needed the pathologist's aid, once the conduct to be adopted will depend on the result of the biopsy.

Background/Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the gastric polyps detected by endoscopy in our institution with respect to their frequency, size, anatomic location, presence of dysplasia, and histopathologic features. Materials and Methods: Records of a total of 14,240 patients who underwent endoscopy between January 2008 and January 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. Of the 14,240 patients, 174 determined to have at least 1 histopathologically proven polyp were included in the study. Results: Three hundred eleven gastric polyps were found in 174/14,240 (1.2%) patients (1.79 polyps per patient). Gastric polyps were found most commonly in the antrum (41.5%). Of all gastric polyps, 189 (60.8%) were less than 1 cm. Histopathologically, the most common polyp type was hyperplastic (n: 261, 83.9%), followed by adenomatous (n: 23, 7.4%). Eight (34.8%) of the adenomatous polyps showed dysplasia, and in 4 (17.4%) of these cases, the dysplasia was high-grade. Nineteen (6.1%) of all gastric polyps were identified to be fundic gland polyps. Conclusion: According to this study from Turkey, the majority of polyps detected by endoscopy was solitary, smaller than 1 cm, and found in the antrum; furthermore, the most common type was a hyperplastic polyp.

Background and aim: Gastric polyps are usually asymptomatic and incidentally discovered during endoscopic procedure. Determination of gastric polyp type is important as the risk for malignant transformation. The polyps behavior and the risk for malignant transformation depends on their histopathological type. To this point, there are no other studies presented in Albania about the gastric polyps. The aim of the study is to assess the prevalence and histological characteristics of gastric polyps in patients underwent endoscopic polypectomy or forceps biopsy.
