Sažetak
Prospective investigation has been undertaken with the aim to study the frequency,
location and age and sex distribution of various histological types of benign gastric epithelial
polyps. Histological type - adenomatous, hyperplastic and fundic gland polyps -
was diagnosed on the basis of at least three histological samples taken from the polyp.
Biopsy samples were also taken from the antrum and the body of the stomach so that
gastritis could be graded and classified, and the presence of H. pylori could be determined
by histology. All 6,700 patients, who had undergone upper gastrointestinal endoscopy
in a one-year period, participated in this study. Among them 42 benign gastric
epithelial polyp were found in 31 patients: adenomatous gastric polyps in 7 patients,
hyperplastic gastric polyp in 21 and fundic gland polyp in 3 patients. All patients with
hyperplastic polyps had chronic active superficial gastritis, whereas most of the patients
with adenomatous polyps had a chronic atrophic gastritis with high prevalence of intestinal
metaplasia. Among 21 patients with hyperplastic gastric polyps, 16 (76%) patients
were positive for H. pylori infection in contrast to only 2 patients (29%) with adenomatous
gastric polyps and 1 patient (33%) with fundic gland polyp. Presented data indicates
that hyperplastic gastric polyps are the most common and they are associated with
the presence of chronic active superficial gastritis and concomitant H. pylori infection.
Adenomatous polyps are rarer and they tend to be associated with chronic atrophic gastritis
and intestinal metaplasia. Fundic gland polyp is the rarest type of gastric polyps.
