Abstract :
Gastritis cystic polyposa is a rare and peculiar polypoid lesion arising at a gastroenterostomy
site, and almost always on the gastric side. It is characterized by elongation
of the gastric foveolae along with hyperplasia and cystic dilatation of the gastric
glands extending into the submucosal layer. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy in a
47-year-old woman without any history of gastric operation revealed a pedunculated
polyp approximately 2 cm in diameter, in a background of erythematous gastric folds
along the anterior wall of the fundus. Polypectomy was performed, with endoscopic
impression of hyperplastic or fundic gland polyp, without any complications.
Histopathological findings were consistent within gastritis cystic polyposa(GCP). A
mild Helicobacter pylori colonization in gastric pits was seen. GCP could occur in an
unoperated stomach and treated by endoscopic polypectomy. However, removal and
histopathologic confirmation of these lesions are necessary.
