Abstract

Gastric lesions presenting as polyps becomes common these days. Many different underlying causes have been suspected with the origin of gastric polyps. Generally, a gastric polyp is considered as benign in the first impression unless proven otherwise. Though, they show a vast variety of malignant potentials. This literature is intended to describe and evaluate the variations, presentations, features, and potentials of gastric polypoid lesions.

Keywords

gastric polyp - fundic gland polyps (FGP) - hyperplastic polyps - inflammatory fibroid polyps - gastric neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) - granular cell tumor (GCT) - gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) - ectopic pancreas
