Abstract

A gastric polyp is defined as a proliferative or neoplastic lesion from the mucosal membrane. Rates of gastric polyp detection are increasing due to widespread use of gastrointestinal endoscopy in Korea. There are many types of gastric polyps; the most common are fundic gland, hyperplastic, and adenomatous polyps. This article reviews the clinical and histologic features of these polyps and provides recommendations for management.
