Abstract
Currently, upper gastrointestinal endoscopies are frequently performed for patients with various gastrointestinal symptoms. From time to time, lumps and bumps in the stomach are encountered on endoscopy. Four cases of gastric polypoid lesions are presented. The classification, differentiation, and management approach to these lesions are discussed. Although there is consensus that all gastric adenomatous polyps should be removed, as should gastric hyperplastic polyps that are symptomatic and/or bear dysplastic foci on forceps biopsy, controversy still exists over the management of asymptomatic gastric hyperplastic polyps that do not bear any dysplastic focus on forceps biopsies. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has a promising role in the evaluation of gastric submucosal polypoid lesions.
