The Current Spectrum of Gastric Polyps: A 1-Year National Study of over 120,000 Patients

Abstract: The relative prevalence of fundic gland polyps in this population was much higher than that reported earlier, most likely because of the widespread use of proton pump inhibitors. H. pylori- and atrophy-associated polyps, including adenomas, were less common than in earlier series.

“…In countries in which Helicobacter pylori infections are commonly seen, hyperplastic and adenomatous polyps are found to be more frequent than fundic gland polyps (8,9). In western countries, where H. pylori infections are less common and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) drug use is more common, fundic gland polyps are seen more frequently (10,11). As modern examinations of the digestive system have increased in number, gastric polyps are now detected more frequently (6).…”

“…In a recent American study, based on 120,000 gastro-scopies carried out over one year period, the relative prevalence of gastric carcinoids was 0.58% (46 cases). Of these cases, half of the patients had chronic gastritis and/or intestinal metaplasia (47.8 and 52.2%, respectively), four were associated with hyperplastic polyps and another one with an inflammatory fibroid polyp (5).…”
