A 41-year-old female was pointed out to have a polypoid lesion in the stomach at the mass survey and visited our hospital for further examination. Endoscopic polypectomy was performed in March, 1981. But the polyp recurred at the same region as initially observed in Descember, 1982, and the second endoscopic polypectomy was performed. The polyp recurred again in August, 1984 and the third endoscopic polypectomy combined with laser photocoagulation was performed. The histology of three polypectomized polyps showed hyperplastic foveolar epithelium. The recurrent mechanism of the polyp was thought that the epithelium regenerated excessively for the mucosal defect after polypectomy.
