Giant hyperplastic polyps in the stomach: radiographic findings in seven patients.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

We reassessed the radiographic findings of giant hyperplastic polyps in the stomach on double-contrast upper gastrointestinal examinations in seven patients.

CONCLUSION:

Giant hyperplastic polyps in the stomach may be manifested by distinctive findings on double-contrast barium studies, appearing as polypoid lesions with multiple lobulated components that form a conglomerate mass. Nevertheless, endoscopy and biopsy are required to rule out a polypoid carcinoma as the cause of these findings.
