| Abstract | Hyperplastic polyps are lesions that are mostly smaller than 1 cm; they are sessile and innocuous. They develop as a result of tissue damage and an exaggerated mucosal regeneration. Intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia at a rate of 1–20% may be seen in hyperplastic polyps. However, the risk of carcinoma development is less than 2%. The risk increases in multiple polyps (1). Here we present a case of an intramucosal mucinous adenocarcinoma that developed in a solitary hyperplastic polyp localized in the stomach antrum. There were extensive atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and, interestingly, gastritis cystica profunda areas in the non-tumorous stomach. |
