Sporadic Fundic Gland Polyps

AbstractFundic gland polyps are the most common gastric polyps, accounting for half of all gastric polyps, most commonly occurring in middle-aged women; they vary from 2 to 5 mm in size and are either single or multiple. Sporadic fundic gland polyps (FGPs) are benign gastric polyps without any malignant transformation and therefore do not require follow-up or treatment. In patients with polyposis syndromes, especially familial adenomatous polyposis, the incidence and burden of FGPs is markedly increased. For these patients endoscopic follow-up is recommended because of the increased risk for development of gastric neoplasia. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia
