“…Annually endoscopic examination is recommended for the follow-up. 21 They are common in females and at advanced age. In a retrospective study, the frequency of neuroendocrine tumor in patients with gastric polyps was found to be 3.5%, the mean age was 49.9 years, and the female/male ratio was 2.3/1.…”

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.
