Histology of endoscopic core-biopsies are not sufficient for differentation between hyperplastic and adenomatosus polyps in stomach

Based on literature, hyperplastic ventricular polyps could show the same stepvise colon polyp like transformation. To recognise the malignant changes as early as possible the most important deal is to obtain histological confirmation of hyperplastic and adenomatous polyps found at endoscopy. Our aims were to find correlation between the histological results of core biopsy and polypectomy and to detect the transformation of hyperplastic alterations to adenomatous polyps in the stomach as well as in the colon. Results were analyzed retrospectively. In the period of 1999–2003 15466 gastroscopies were performed and…
