Abstract

Gastric polyps; They are pedunculated or sessile lesions that project towards the lumen arising from the gastric epithelium or submucosa. It is mostly asymptomatic and is detected incidentally during endoscopy. In our clinic, gastric polypoid lesions detected in many different shapes and sizes on endoscopy were pathologically diagnosed as fundic gland polyps. We aimed to present this case, which is rare compared to the cases in the literature, because it is interesting.
