Abstract

Objective
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative bacterium. It is urease positive, mobile, microaerophilic, and spiral-shaped, and it settles in the stomach and the proximal duodenum. It is associated with chronic gastritis, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, stomach cancer, and MALT lymphoma. It can also cause premalignant lesions, such as metaplasia and gastric atrophy. Although several studies are investigating the correlation between H. pylori and hyperplastic polyps (HPs) of the stomach, uncertainty in this regard continues.
Methods
Data from 5378 patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy at the Department of Gastroenterology, Gülhane Training and Research Hospital,
University Of Health Sciences between October 2016 and March 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and patients with gastric polyps were evaluated for polyp pathologies and normal mucosa biopsies.
Results
Sixty-one stomach polyps were detected in 49 patients after the retrospective analysis of the data between October 2016 and March 2019. Of the polyps found, 36 were hyperplastic (73%). There was no statistically significant difference between HPs and the presence of H. pylori, age, gender, anatomical location of polyps in the stomach, size, number, presence of metaplasia, or atrophy. The mean age was statistically lower in H. pylori-positive cases.
Conclusions
No correlation was observed between HPs and the presence of H. pylori. There is a need for more extensive, multi-centered, and prospective studies evaluating the relationship between HPs and H. pylori.
