Abstract
- Gastric hamartoma is usually an asymptomatic, small, sessile polyp, located in the body and fundus of the stomach. A case was experienced involving a solitary large hamartomatous polyp prolapsing through the pylorus in a 63-year old female presented with melena. A gastroendoscopy determined a pedunculated gastric polyp prolapsing through the pylorus with fresh blood oozing and congestion. A UGI series revealed that a 5 cm sized lobulated mass with a long stalk attached at the greater curvature side of the fundus. The polyp was removed by an endoscopic snare polypectomy and diagnosed as a gastric hamartoma.
