| dc.description.abstract | Hyperplastic polyps, which account for nearly 75% of all gastric polyps, are generally small (<1 cm), single, sessile, polyps and located in antrum. They are usually asymptomatic. A 77-year-old man was admitted to hospital due to severe fatigue as a consequence of iron-deficiency anemia. The upper gastrointestinal endoscopy which was done to discover an etiological factor revealed a papillomatous mass 6 cm in diameter that had a malignant endoscopic appearance. Numerous macroscopic sections were taken since larger gastric polyps (especially those greater than 2 cm in diameter) have a greater risk of malignancy development. No dysplasia was detected on histological and immunohistochemical evaluation and it was therefore diagnosed as a giant hyperplastic polyp in the stomach. The large size of the polyp in the presented case led us to emphasize the importance of searching for dysplasia in such cases. | |
