Abstract
- The manifestations of gastric polyps vary, including abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting or gastrointestinal bleeding. Sometimes large polyp of the stomach causes intermittent outlet obstruction. Most of gastric polyps that prolapse through the pylorus are pedunculated adenomatous polyps located in the antral and prepyloric regions. Even though the polyps has no evidence of malignancy, the polyps producing pyloric obstruction should be removed by polypectomy or surgery. Herein we describe 3 cases of a large, benign, and pedunculated gastric polyp that led to intermittent gastric outlet obstruction with review of literatures.
