Case description

Many hyperplastic polyps are found incidentally on gastroscopy. Physical findings are not specific. Hyperplastic polyps are by far the most common histologic type, and they can vary in location, number, and size. Most are less than 2 cm. Although these polyps harbor no malignancy, they may be accompanied by atrophic gastritis, which predisposes the nonpolypoid mucosa to malignant transformation.
