Abstract

Gastric polyps are morphological diagnoses that collectively refer to various types of lesions, and are commonly found by accident in gastroscopy. Gastric polyps in the broad sense are commonly referred to as abnormal structures protruding toward the gastric lumen, but are generally used only in lesions of the gastric mucosa. The incidence of gastric polyps ranged from 1 to 30% and varied by reporter, and differs by region. Fundic gland polyps were the most common in the West, while hyperplastic polyps were the most common in Korea. Gastric polyps are usually discovered by accident, but because some kinds of polyps have the potential to transform of malignant tumors, histological diagnosis is essential. There should be adequate treatment and management according to the histological results.
