“…In another study, 97.2% of all polyps were reported to be smaller than 10 mm. 13 The size of the largest polyp in our study was found to be smaller than 5 mm at a rate of 90.2%, between 6-10 mm at a rate of 6.7% and 10 mm and above at a rate of 3.1%; these findings are compatible with the literature.…”

Background Gastric polyps are often detected incidentally during endoscopic procedures performed for different reasons and may sometimes manifest by gastric bleeding, pyloric stenosis, iron deficiency anemia and abdominal pain. Our study aimed to investigate the demographic data of the cases found to have gastric polyps at the gastroenterology endoscopy unit, histologic type of the polyps, their localization and size, and their relationship with Helicobacter pylori. Material and MethodsBetween September 2016 -September 2019, gastric polyps were detected in 255 of 9,771 cases who underwent upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy at the Gastroenterology Endoscopy Unit of our hospital. Demographic data, endoscopy reports and pathology results of these patients were retrospectively reviewed from the hospital registry system. Results Of 255 cases included in the study, 160 (62.7%) were female, and 95 (37.3%) were male, with a mean age of 56.9 (min: 19, max: 95). A total of 336 polyps were detected in 255 cases, with 1.3 polyps per case. 36 (10.7%) of gastric polyps were found to be fundic gland polyps, 32 (9.5%) were found to be foveolar hyperplasia, 137 (40.8%) were found to be hyperplastic polyps, 5 (1.5%) were found to be xanthomas, and 6 (1.8%) were found to be neuroendocrine tumors. Conclusions According to this study, 90% of gastric polyps detected endoscopically in southeast Turkey are smaller than 5 mm and located most commonly in the corpus; the most common histologic subtype is hyperplastic polyps.

“…15 Their incidence in the stomach differ among studies and vary between 18.2% and 76%. 13 Although HPs are considered as benign, these polyps may show dysplastic and malign transformation. Dysplastic foci can be observed in 1-20% of HPs.…”

“…The prevalence in the general population is estimated to be 0.8-2.4% (3). Wang et al (10) found the prevalence of asymptomatic gastric polyps as 29.8%, while Morais et al (11) found it to be 0.6% in their study. In our study, gastric polyps were observed in 347 patients and the prevalence was 1.4%, which was consistent with the general population prevalence.…”

Objective: Gastric polyps are gastric mucosal protrusions that are usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally during upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy. In this study, the incidence, location and general characteristics of gastric polyps were evaluated. Materials and methods: Upper gastrointestinal system endoscopies performed in a tertiary hospital for a period of ten years were evaluated retrospectively. Demographic characteristics of the patients, gastroscopy indications, morphological and histological characteristics of polyps were recorded. Results: Gastric polyps were found in 347 (1.4%) of a total of 25230 gastroscopy patients. The mean age of the patients was 61.04 ± 15.05 and 64.3% were female. 124 (35.7%) of the patients were male and 223 (64.3%) were female. The most common endoscopic indication (74.1%) of the patients with polyps was dyspepsia. Most of the polyps (55.3%) were smaller than 5 mm and the most common site was the antrum. Hyperplastic polyp (44.4%) was detected the most. 42.9% of the patients with polyps were positive for Helicobacter pylori. In addition, 58% of adenomatous polyps were accompanied by dysplasia. Conclusion: Hyperplastic polyps were the most common polyp type in our population. Full excision of polyps over 5 mm (especially adenomatous polyps) is recommended instead of biopsy, as they may contain dysplasia foci. In addition, it was thought that taking polyps smaller than 5 mm into endoscopic follow-up without excision was more cost-effective.

In our study, the mean age of occurrence of HPs was 59.2 years, the rate of occurrence was 67% in female patients, the rate of occurrence among all gastric polyps was 40.8%, and 81.3% of all gastric polyps were smaller than 5 mm.…”
