| Abstract | Background/aims Gastric polyps (GPs) are usually asymptomatic lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract observed in 1–3% of esophagogastroduodenoscopies (EGD). Most GPs are benign. The aim of this study was to precise the frequency of different types of gastric polyps in our population, and to analyze their possible association with other factors. Materials and methods A total of 18,496 consecutive patients undergoing EGD over a 10-year period (between 2007 and 2018) in a tertiary hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Eighty-six patients diagnosed with gastric polyps were analysed. Demographics, medical history of the patients, and indication for gastroscopy were collected. Morphological, histological characteristics of polyps, and therapeutic management data were also collected. Results GPs were found in 86 out of 18,496 (0.46%) reviewed EGD, corresponding to a total of 141 polyps. There were 64 female (74.4%) and 22 male patients (25.6%) with a sex ratio (M/F) of 0.34. The average age was 58.1 years. One hundred and forty one polyps were included, and histopathology was obtained on 127 GPs. The most common location was the fundus (59.6%) and 48.9% were smaller than 5 mm. The polyp was unique in 75.6% of cases. According to Paris classification, 80% of the polyps were sessile (Is). Hyperplastic polyps were the most common (55.9%), followed by sporadic fundic gland polyps observed in 23 patients (18.1%), 7 (5.5%) were adenomas and 4 (3.1%) were neuroendocrine tumors type 1. The following factors were associated with hyperplastic polyps: anemia (p = 0.022), single polyp (p = 0.025) and size ≥ 5 mm (p = 0.048). Comparing hyperplastic polyps’ biopsies to resected polyps, no difference was found in the evolutionary profile of the 2 groups. A size less than 10 mm (p = 0.013) was associated with fundic gland polyps. Sixty polyps (47.2%) were treated by cold forceps, 19 (15%) treated by a mucosal resection and 15 (11.8%) with diathermic snare. Five procedural bleeding incidents were observed (3.9%). Only the use of anticoagulant treatment was associated with a high bleeding risk (p = 0.005). The comparative histological study between specimens of biopsied GPs and endoscopic polypectomy led to an overall agreement of 95.3%. Conclusion In our study, the GPs frequency was 0.36%. Hyperplastic polyps and fundic gland are the most common in our country. The high frequency of Helicobacter pylori infection in our patients and in our area may explain the high frequency of HP. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
