Histopathological evaluation of the resected specimen showed elongation, twisting and cystic dilatation of the foveolae (fig 1, H&E stain, x20). A hyperplastic gastric polyp was diagnosed. Unlike gastric fundic gland polyps, hyperplastic gastric polyps are primarily in the antrum and are usually associated with chronic gastritis,1 pernicious anaemia2 or Helicobacter pylori infection. Some circumstances, such as postgastrectomy stomach or proliferation after overwhelming mucosal injury, may also lead to the development of a hyperplastic polyp.3 Hyperplastic gastric polyps were recently reported in the electrocoagulation treatment of gastric antral vascular ectasia with an Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet) laser or argon plasma coagulation.4
