Abstract

A 69-year-old woman had been taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for reflux esophagitis since 2005 and also succeeded to Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) eradication in 2015. EGD revealed multiple gastric polyps in 2017, one of them was suspected to be malignant based on biopsy findings. The polyp gradually enlarged with an irregular depression on its surface; therefore, endoscopic mucosal resection was performed for further diagnosis and treatment. Histopathological assessment confirmed adenocarcinoma on the fundic gland polyp (FGP); however, findings suggestive of gastric mucosal atrophy or H. pylori infection were absent. Gastric adenocarcinoma arising from a PPI-related FGP is rare. Thus, when adenocarcinoma on an FGP is suspected, carefully follow-up and endoscopic resection are recommended.
