Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric polyps in patients with colorectal cancer and colorectal polyps / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective:To investigate the effect of helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection and gastric polyps on colorectal cancer lesions.Methods:The clinical data of 2 034 patients with colorectal polyps and 118 patients with colorectal cancer detected by gastroscopy and colonoscopy examination in General Hospital of Beijing Jingmei Group from January 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 178 patients without colorectal polyps in the same period were treated as controls to analyze Hp infection and gastric polyps in patients with different ages, genders and pathological types.Results:The age and the proportion of male patients in colorectal cancer group were higher than those in the control group and colorectal polyps group (all P < 0.05). The Hp infection rates of the control group, colorectal polyps group and colorectal cancer group were 20.8% (37/178), 23.0% (467/2 034) and 27.1% (32/118), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (all P > 0.05). Among 2 034 cases of colorectal polyps, there were 612 cases of inflammatory polyps, 371 cases of proliferative polyps and 1 051 cases of adenomatous polyps. The infection rates of Hp in the three kinds of colorectal polyps were 24.5% (150/612), 22.4% (83/371) and 22.3% (234/1 051), respectively. The incidence of patients with gastric polyps in the 3 groups was 34.6% (212/612), 38.3% (142/371) and 39.3% (413/1 051), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (all P > 0.05). The age of the three colorectal polyps groups was significantly different from that of the control group and colorectal cancer group (all P < 0.05) except for inflammatory polyps and proliferative polyps groups. The proportion of female in three kinds of colorectal polyps combined with gastric polyps was higher than that in male patients (all P < 0.05). The age of Hp positive patients in the control group, different types of colorectal polyps groups and colorectal cancer group was lower than that in negative patients, but there was a statistically significant difference only in adenomatous polyps group ( P = 0.002). The age of patients with different types of colorectal polyps combined with gastric polyps was older than that of those without gastric polyps, and the age of patients with colorectal cancer combined with gastric polyps was younger than that of those without gastric polyps (all P < 0.05). There was no assocaiton of Hp infection and gastric polyps with colorectal polyps and colorectal cancer (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:Hp infection may promote the early occurrence of colorectal adenomatous polyps. There is no evidence that gastric polyps are associated with the risk of colorectal polyps. Female patients with colorectal polyps have a higher risk of gastric polyps.

Study on Risk Factors for Gastric Polyp Formation in Autoimmune Gastritis / 胃肠病学

Background: Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) can lead to hypergastrinemia and enterochromaffin ⁃ like cell hyperplasia, thereby increasing the risk of gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms and gastric adenocarcinoma. However, research on the association between AIG and gastric polyps is limited. Aims: To investigate the risk factors for the development of gastric polyps in AIG patients. Methods: The clinical data of 103 AIG patients visited the Chinese People’s Armed Police Force Sichuan Provincial Corps Hospital from June 2019 to June 2023 was collected retrospectively. The parameters analyzed included gender, age, anti⁃parietal cell antibody, anti⁃intrinsic factor antibody, pepsinogen (PG)I, PGII, ratio for PGI/ II, gastrin ⁃ 17 (G ⁃ 17), OLGA and OLGIM staging, size, location and pathological types of gastric polyps, vitamin B12, Helicobacter pylori infection and presence of anemia at the year AIG diagnosed. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for gastric polyps in AIG patients. The predictive performance of the variables was assessed by ROC curve analysis. Results: Among the 103 AIG patients enrolled in the study, 67 (65.05%) were females, and the median age was 58 years old. Fourteen (13.59%) patients had gastric polyps. Compared to patients without gastric polyps, those with gastric polyps had significantly higher levels of serum G ⁃ 17 (P< 0.000 1). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that G⁃ 17 was an independent risk factor for gastric polyps in AIG patients (OR=1.047, 95% CI: 1.017 ⁃ 1.078, P=0.002). The area under the curve (AUC) of G ⁃ 17 and the Logistic regression model in predicting the gastric polyp formation in AIG patients was 0.811 and 0.884, respectively. The optimal cutoff value of G⁃17 was 69.50 pmol/L, with the sensitivity and specificity of 92.9% and 67.4%, respectively. Conclusions: Serum G⁃17 is a potential prognostic factor for AIG. The optimal cutoff value for predicting the development of gastric polyp is 69.50 pmol/L.

Progress in clinical diagnosis and treatment for gastric polyps / 中南大学学报(医学版)

Gastric polyps are common precancerous diseases. With the intensive study on the characteristics of different types of gastric polyps in recent years, only 1.7% of the gastric polyps were found to have dysplasia and cancer, and most of the dysplasia and cancer were found in polyps larger than 1 cm. Traditional idea suggests that polyps should be removed immediately, but routine removal of all polyps results in an increased financial burden on patients. At present, there are controversies about whether endoscopic treatment is necessary for different pathological types and small gastric polyps.

Changing Prevalence of Gastric Fundic Gland Polyps: Current Scenario in North India.

Introduction: The prevalence and histopathological type ofgastric polyp vary between populations. In the recent pastaggressive treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and theexcessive use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have alteredthe prevalence of specific types of gastric polyp. This studywas designed to evaluate the prevalence and histopathologybackground of gastric mucosa in cases with fundic glandpolyps (FGP).Material and Methods: The medical record of patients whounderwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy in 2 centers inNorthern India from 2011-2018 were reviewed.Results: The prevalence of gastric polyps was 5%, of which900 (50%) were fundic gland polyps (FGP). Mean age ofpresentation was 51.42 years, 70% were located in fundus/corpus, 62% had dyspepsia, chronic inactive gastritis (CIG)was present in 60%, 95% were multiple and 27% were morethan 1cm in size.Conclusions: As a result of anti - H. pylori treatment and theexcessive use of PPIs, FGP are most common in Northern India.CIG, H. pylori gastritis and Intestinal metaplasia were seen ingastric histology of the cases. These results are interesting andprovide new perspective to look for pathogenesis of gastricpolyps.

Risk Factors of Multiple Gastric Polyps according to the Histologic Classification: Prospective Observational Cohort Study / 대한소화기학회지

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors of multiple gastric polyps according to the histological classification of gastric polyps. METHODS: Subjects with multiple gastric polyps (at least three) during endoscopy were enrolled prospectively. They were assigned to a fundic gland polyp (FGP) group and hyperplastic polyp (HP) group based on a histological classification of gastric polyps. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) was confirmed by its histology. Serum gastrin was measured using the radioimmunoassay method. A questionnaire was taken regarding the intake of proton pump inhibitor and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, alcohol, smoking history, and diet. RESULTS: Among the 60 subjects enrolled from 2015 to 2018 at Seoul National University Bungdang Hospital, 47 and 13 subjects were assigned to the FGP and HP groups, respectively. The H. pylori infection rate was 12.8% in the FGP group, which is lower than that in the HP group (69.2%, p<0.001). The gastrin level was higher in the HP group (194.7 pg/dL, range 50.6–387.8 pg/dL) than in the FGP group (57.4 pg/dL, range 24.8–79.0 pg/dL) (p=0.007). Histologically, neutrophil infiltration in the antrum and body of the stomach were higher in the HP group than in the FGP group (p=0.022 and p=0.030, respectively). In contrast, monocyte infiltration in the antrum and body of the stomach were higher in the FGP group than in the HP group (p=0.018 and p<0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: HPs arise from inflammation caused by H. pylori. On the other hand, the FGP was not associated with H. pylori or environmental factors.

Clinical Experience of ZENG Bin-fang in Treatment of Gastric Polyps / 中国中医药信息杂志

Gastric polyps are frequently occurring diseases of the digestive system, which are easy to recur. Some of the polyps are prone to canceration. Western medicine is currently under endoscope surgery. Although the curative effect is exact, the recurrence rate is high. Professor ZENG Bin-fang, after years of clinical research and experience, concludes that the basic pathogenesis of gastric polyps is deficiency of spleen and stomach, spleen qi deficiency and qi deficiency through the disease, and they are also important reasons for its recurrence. Accordingly, invigorating the spleen, invigorating qi and activating blood circulation, regulating qi and reducing phlegm dampness, and strengthening the body resistance to eliminate pathogenic factors are proposed to treat gastric polyps. In addition, the Yiqi Sanjie Decoction was created, with good clinical efficacy. But for gastric polyps of d＞ 0.5 cm, it is still recommended to take gastroscopic treatment before taking TCM treatment, which can shorten the course of TCM, relieve the physical and mental burden of patients, and prevent patients from interrupting treatment because they can not take TCM for a long time, to affect the curative efficacy.

Therapeutic value of endoscopic submucosal dissection for polypus protrusion lesion on esophagogastric junction / 中华消化内镜杂志

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the treatment of patients with polypus protrusion lesion on esophagogastric junction ( EGJ ). Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the data of 111 cases ( 114 lesions) with EGJ polypus protrusion undergoing ESD. The main observation indicators included ESD resection rate, operation time, complication, and recurrence. Results The diameter of the 114 lesions was 1. 0-6. 0 cm ( mean 2. 47 ± 0. 80 cm). Among the lesions, 30 had smooth surface, 59 had congestion anabrosis, 11 had nodular rough, 3 were lobulated, 8 had villiform,1 had slight anabrosis, and 2 had local dent. The postoperative pathology analysis showed 19 lesions were intraepithelial neoplasia and 2 were adenocarcinoma. The rate of neoplasia and cancerization was 18. 42%(21/114). The monolithic resection rate of ESD was 100. 0%(114/114), complete resection rate was 99. 1%( 113/114), complete healing resection rate was 97. 4%( 111/114). The mean operation time was 32. 45±7. 32 min (17. 0-60. 0 min). Tardive bleeding after operation occurred in 3 cases, perforation in operation occurred in 1 case, and all the 4 cases were successfully treated by endoscopy. After operation, 2 cases underwent additional surgical procedures. A total of 96 cases were followed-up, with average follow-up time of 28. 8 months, and 1 patient ( 1. 04%, 1/96 ) relapsed. Conclusion The intraepithelial neoplasia and cancerization rate caused by polypus protrusion lesion on EGJ is generally higher than prediction. ESD can monolithic resect lesions with higher complete healing resection rate, fewer complications, and lower recurrence rate.

Pancreatitis aguda debido a intususcepción gastroduodenal / Acute pancreatitis due to gastroduodenal intussusception

Introducción: Los pólipos gástricos adenomatosos son poco frecuentes y generalmente se encuentran en el examen endoscópico de rutina. La intususcepción gastroduodenal es una complicación poco frecuente de los pólipos gástricos y ha sido raramente descrita como una causa de pancreatitis aguda. Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso de un varón de 68 años el cual ingresa de urgencia con dolor abdominal, náuseas y vómitos catalogados en un inicio como pancreatitis aguda de etiología biliar; incidentalmente se descubre un pólipo gástrico pediculado intususceptado a duodeno como causa de la pancreatitis aguda. Se realizó tratamiento endoscópico de urgencia y tratamiento definitivo con cirugía abierta.

Introduction: Adenomatous gastric polyps are uncommon and are usually found in the routine endoscopic examination. Gastroduodenal intussusception is a rare complication of those gastric polyps and has rarely been described as a cause of acute pancreatitis. Case report: We present the case of a 68 year old man who admitted to emergency with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting initially classified as acute biliary pancreatitis etiology; a pedunculated gastric polyp intussuscepted into duodenum as a cause of acute pancreatitis was incidentally discovered, emergency endoscopic treatment and definitive treatment with open surgery was performed.

Application of disease screening with magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy / 中国内镜杂志

Objective To study the clinical value of magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy in diseases screening. Method We retrospectively analyzed 61 cases which were evaluated by magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy from March 2015 to December 2016. The items include operating time, the divergence rate score and cleanliness score of stomach. The consistency was compared between magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy and gastric duodenal endoscopy. Results 61 upper gastrointestinal tract studies were included. The mean age was (49.4 ± 11.6) years. No capsule retention, perforation or bleeding occurred. There was 98.4% patients, which cleanliness of stomach was good. There was 68.9% patients, which filling degree of stomach was good. The concordance rate of the two tests of gastrduodenoscopy and magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy was 89.9% (80/89). The concordance rate of the two tests was 78.9% (15/19) in esophageal and cardia, 92.9% (52/56) in stomach, 92.9% (13/14) in duodenum. Conclusion Our experience shows that magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy is a safe and useful tool for the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal tract disease. The detection rate is similar to gastrduodenoscopy.

Clinical and endoscopic characteristics of fundic gland polyps / 中国内镜杂志

Objective To analyze the clinical and endoscopic characteristics of fundic gland polyps (FGPs).Methods A case-control study was carried out at the Afifliated Beijing Shijitan Hospital of Capital Medical University from 2008 to 2015. The patients who accepted an upper endoscopy and found the gastric polyps for the ifrst time (diagnosed by pathology) were included in the study. Then, we analyzed the clinic and pathological characteristics of FGPs and non-FGPs.Results During the study period, 867 patients were enrolled, and 319 (36.8%) patients had FGPs. Compared the cases with the controls, the size of FGPs was smaller, an average is (0.40 ± 0.15) cm, single accounted for 67.7%, and 88.1% of FGPs were located at fundus and body. Helicobacter pylori infection of the cases detected was found in 6.1%, less than non-FGPs. There were statistically signiifcant differences observed in these aspects. From 2008 to 2015, the proportion of FGPs in gastric polyps and the detection rate of FGPs are both gradually elevated.Conclusions FGPs are the common gastric polyps, and its detection rate is gradually elevated. Most of the FGPs are mainly located at fundus and body, and single. Helicobacter pylori infection detected in the patients who have FGPs is rare.

Objective To study the relative risk factors of simultaneous gastric and colonic polyps,pro-vide theoretical basis for simultaneous gastrointestinal endoscopy monitoring for high-risk population. Methods Retrospective analysis on the patients with a total of 506 cases in the department of gastroenterology of Zhujiang Hospital from 2014 to 2016 and diagnosis gastric polyps or colonic polyps. Adopt cases-control research,the pa-tients(138)with gastric polyps and colonic polyps were divided into case group,the patients(99)with gastric polyps or colonic polyps(269)were divided into control group.Results The colonic polyps group is mainly com-posed of male(69.1%);while gastric polyps group is mainly composed of female(76.8%);The proportion of the patients over 50 years old with gastrointestinal polyp is higher(81.9%).The proportion of Hp infection in the colon-ic polyps group is higher(43.1%),followed by the cases group(31.9%).The composition of the pathological types between gastric polyps group,colonic polyps group and cases group is similar,while there is no correlation on the pathological types between gastric polyps and colonic polyps in the cases group. Conclusion The male patients who diagnosis gastric polyps should perform colonoscopy,the gastric polyps patients who is Hp infection should per-form colonoscopy,the patients over 50 years old are suggested to perform gastrointestinal endoscopy. There is no correlation on the pathological types between gastric polyps and colonic polyps,further studies will be conducted to expand the study sample size.

Is there a link between upper gastrointestinal polyps and colonic polyps? A retrospective study from a Turkish cohort / Existe conexão entre pólipos gastrointestinais proximais e pólipos colônicos? Estudo retrospectivo de uma coorte turca

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence and associated demographical and clinical factors related to lower GI polyps and neoplasms in patients with upper GI polyps and neoplasms. METHODS: We investigated 99 patients who had upper GI polyps and neoplasms and who were screened with colonoscopy: the following data were collected: demographical and clinical data consisting of age, sex, smoking status, presence of H. pylori infection, placement of upper GI polyps or neoplasms, presence of gastric atrophy, usage of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), presence of lower GI polyp or neoplasm, type of colon polyp, pathological grade of colon polyp. The patients were grouped according to having/not having lower GI polyps and neoplasms; data was compared between groups. RESULTS: Smoking rate was significantly higher in patients with lower GI polyps and neoplasms (χ2: 4.35, p: 0.03). Furthermore, there was a signifant association between presence of lower GI polyps and neoplasms vs. smoking (OR: 2.44 CI: 1.01-5.84, p: 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with upper GI polyps and neoplasms who are smokers should be considered as candidates for having lower GI polyps and neoplasms and should be screened and followed more carefully. Additionally, we believe that large sampled and prospective studies are needed to higligt the association between upper GI polyps and presence of lower GI polyps and neoplasms.

OBJETIVO: investigar a incidência, demografia associada e fatores clínicos relativos a pólipos e neoplasias gastrointestinais distais em pacientes com pólipos e neoplasias do trato gastrointestinal superior. MÉTODOS: Foram investigados 99 pacientes que apresentaram pólipos ou neoplasias gastrointestinais superiores selecionados através de colonoscopia: os seguintes dados foram coletados: dados demográficos e clínicos consistentes em idade, sexo, tabagismo, presença de infecção por H. pylori, a presença de pólipos ou neoplasias gastrointestinais proximais, presença de atrofia gástrica, uso de inibidores da bomba de prótons (IBP), presença de pólipo ou neoplasia gastrointestinal distal, tipo de pólipo de cólon, grau patológico de pólipo de cólon. Os pacientes foram agrupados de acordo com ter/não ter pólipos ou neoplasias distais; os dados foram comparados entre os grupos. RESULTADOS: A taxa de tabagismo foi significativamente maior nos pacientes com pólipos e neoplasias distais (χ2: 4.35, p: 0,03). Além disso houve uma associação significante entre a presença de pólipos e neoplasias distais e tabagismo (OR: 2,44 CI: 1,01-5,84, p: 0,04). CONCLUSÕES: Os pacientes fumantes com pólipos e neoplasias do trato gastrointestinal superior devem ser considerados candidatos a pólipos e neoplasias distais e devem ser rastreados e seguidos com mais cuidado. Adicionalmente, grandes amostras e estudos prospectivos são necessários para esclarecer a associação entre pólipos gastrointestinais superiores e a presença de pólipos e neoplasias gastrointestinais distais.

The observation group were treated with EMR,the control group were received conventional treatment for surgery.The clinical efficacy and adverse events were compared.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 96.51%,significantly higher than 70.93% in the control group (χ2 =15.73,P<0.05);the postoperative adverse reactions in the observation group was 22.09%,significantly lower than 47.67% in the control group (χ2 =31.65, P<0.05).Conclusion For patients with pre-senile and senile stomach and colon polyps,the application of endo-scopic mucosal resection in the treatment not only can achieve better clinical efficacy, but also lower incidence of adverse reactions.

Clinical and pathological characteristics of 491 gastric and colorectal polyps / 安徽医科大学学报

To analyze the polyps in the aspects of distribution, helicobacter pylori ( HP) infection and the use of proton pump inhibitors ( PPI) in different histological types of gastric polyps;to observe the morphosis under endos-copy histopathology and the surveillance situation in colonic polyps. The infection rates of HP in gastric hyperplasic polyps, inflammatory polyps and adenomatous polyps were 31.11%, 45.31% and 58.33%;the using rate of PPI among inflammatory polyps patients was higher. The main histopathological type of colonic polyps was adenomatous polyps;20 cases of colorectal polypectomy surveillance of 2 years had recurrence. The occurrence of gastric adeno-matous polyps may be related to HP infection;PPI had no obvious correlation with the pathological type of the gas-tric polyps. Colorectal adenoma should strengthen the surveillance colonoscopy of postpolypectomy.

Analysis of clinical pathological characteristics and pattern changes of 2643 gastric polyps in the past 15 years / 中华消化杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical pathological characteristics and pattern changes of gastric polyps in the past 15 years.Methods From 1998 to 2012,the cases of gastric polyps diagnosed by gastroscopy were collected.Data of gender,age,location,number,size,Yamata type,pathological type,Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection were retrospectively analyzed.The data were analyzed by Chi square test.Results Among 62 975 cases received gastroscopy,gastric polyps were detected in 2 643 patients and the gastric polyps detection rate was 4.20％,which of female (5.91％,1 790/30 269) was higher than that of male (2.61％,853/32 706).And patients aged ≥60 years old has a high prevalence of gastric polyps; the detection rate was 6.39％(1 124/17 590).The positive rate of H.pylori infection in patients detected with gastric polyp was 12.70％ (321/2 527).Gastric body (40.41％,1 068/2 643) and fundus (26.79％,708/2 643) were two predilection sites of gastric polyps.About 69.05％(1 825/2 643) patients' polyps were solitary,74.76％(1 976/2 643) patients' polyps were less than 0.5 cm in diameter and mainly were Yamata type Ⅰ (30.68％,811/2 643) or type Ⅱ (54.41％,1 438/2 643).The common pathological types were hyperplastic polyps (43.80％,1 109/2 532),inflammatory polyps (34.24％,867/2 532),fundic-gland polyps (19.55％,495/2 532) and adenomatous polyps (2.41％,61/2 532).The detection rate of polyps gradually increased in the past 15 years.Between 1998 to 2002,2003 to 2007,2008 to 2012,the average of 5-year detection rates were 1.11％,2.50％ and 6.49％,respectively.However,the proportion of pathological types didn't change significantly.Conclusions The detection rate of gastric polyps gradually increased year by year,and elderly woman is at high risk.Hyperplastic and inflammatory polyps ware the most common types.

Polipectomía y manejo endoscópico de lesión gigante gástrica / Polypectomy and endoscopic management of a giant gastric polyp

Los pólipos gástricos suelen ser hiperplásicos y benignos en su gran mayoría. Se asocian entre otras a factores idiosincráticos, genéticos o al uso prolongado de bloqueadores de bomba. Si bien su grado de malignización es bajo se recomienda su remoción. La mayoría se encuentran incidentalmente en procedimientos de rutina. Cuando superan los 10 mm (pueden incluso llegan a medir varios centímetros) suelen causas dispepsia, pueden sangrar u obstruir el píloro si son ubicados en antro. Reportamos la remoción de un pólipo gástrico gigante con método combinado de inyección, elevación, uso de asa desprendible o endoloop, complementado con aplicación de argón plasma (APC).

Gastric polyps are mainly hyperplastic and benign. They are associated with idiosinchratic factors, genetic or associated to chronic use of pump inhibitors. Endoscopic resection is recommended eventhough the rate of malignant transformation is very low. The vast majority are encountered as incidental findings in routine endoscopy. When they grow beyond 10mm (they may reach several centimetres in diamater) gastric polyps are a cause of dyspepsia, bleeding or gastric outlet obstruction, if located in the antrum. We report a safe endoscopic resection of a giant gastric polyp combining injection, elevation, endoloop and argon plasma coagulation (APC).

Relationship Between Gastric Polyps and Helicobacter pylori Infection / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between gastric polyps and Helicobacter pylori infection.METHODS The patients with gastric polyps were taken by gastroendoscopy in 2005.The tissues from their antrums were examined for presence of H.pylori.We collected and analyzed all of their general information and the data about their gastric polyps and H.pylori infection condition.RESULTS In the 95 gastric polyps patients,76 cases(80.0%) had inflammatory polyps and 19 cases(20.0%) had H.polyps.The total H.pylori infection rate was 33.7%.The H.pylori infection rate in the inflammatory polyps patients and H.pylori patients were 38.2% and 15.8%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS H.pylori infection promotes the formation of gastric inflammatory polyps.The examination and treatment for H.pylori is necessary for the gastric polyps patients.

Pólipos de estómago y duodeno: Una revisión de 1 año de experiencia en un centro de referencia

Los pólipos gastroduodenales son lesiones elevadas de origen epitelial. Pueden ser pediculados, subpediculados y sésiles. Se clasifican en lesiones neoplásicas y no neoplásicas. Materiales y métodos: estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo donde se revisaron los informes de endoscopia y de anatomía patológica año 2004, teniendo en cuenta datos de identificación, características endoscópicas, anatomopatológicas, hallazgos endoscópicos asociados y técnicas de polipectomìa empleada. Resultados: se encontraron pólipos gastroduodenales en 23 pacientes de 1662 estudios endoscópicos realizados (1,38%), con predominio del sexo femenino (60,87%) y más frecuencia en la sexta década de la vida. En cuanto a las características endoscópicas, los pólipos sésiles fueron los más frecuentes, se localizaron en su mayoría en el cuerpo, el tamaño preponderante fue de 5 a 10 mm y su presentación generalmente fue única. El tipo histológico predominante son los hiperplasicos, con un 26,08% de adenomatosos. El 83,33% de los pólipos adenomatosos presentaron algún grado de displasia. Las técnicas de polipectomía empleadas fueron de pinza fría y de asa de diatermia. Conclusiones: los pólipos no neoplásicos hiperplásicos son los más frecuentes, sin embargo, se encontró un significativo porcentaje de adenomatosos por lo que es necesario realizar polipectomía y estudio histológico de todas estas lesiones.

Duodenal and Gastric Polyps are elevated epithelial lesions that can be pedunculated, subpedunculated or sessile. They can be classified into neoplasic and non neoplasic polyps. Methods: Descriptive and retrospective study in which endoscopic and pathologic reports were reiviewed, from 2004, taking into consideration personal data, endoscopic and pathologic characteristics of the polyps, associated endoscopic findings and polipectomy technique. Results: Duodenal and Gastric Polyps were found in 23 patients from 1662 endoscopies (1,38%) corresponding mostly to female patients in their sixth decade of life. Regarding polypsÊ endoscopic characteristics, sessile polyps were the more frequently found, located mostly at the body of the stomach. The preponderant size was from 5 to 10 mm mostly as unique lesions. The histopathology type of the polyps was hyperplastic, with a 26,08% of adenomatous. 83,33% of the adenomatous polyps presented with some grade of dysplasia. The techniques for endoscopy polipectomy were with cold biopsy forceps and diathermic snare. Conclusions: The most frecuently non neoplasic polyp found was hyperplastic. However, a significant percentage of adenomatous polyps were found, these lesions justify endoscopic polypectomy and histological examination.
