Large Gastric Hyperplastic Polyps

Hyperplastic polyps may be quite large. In this patient, a large polyp with a long stilus is seen. One would probably expect to see an adenoma here, histologically, but this was an innocent hyperplastic polyp.

This unexpectedly large hyperplastic polyp was found in the corpus, here seen in the lower part of the picture.
