A case of stomal polypoid hypertrophic gastritis (gastritis cystica polyposa) removed by endoscopic polypectomy was reported. A 72-year-female was referred to our hospital because of a protruded lesion in the remnant stomach detected by routine barium swallow study. She had a history of subtotal gastrectomy (Billroth I) for gastric ulcer 9 years ago. Endoscopic examination showed a sessile polypoid lesion at the lesser curvature of the stomal site with focal redness. Biopsy specimens taken from the lesion revealed foveolar hyperplasia. We could remove the lesion by endoscopic polypectomy and diagnosed it as SPHG (GCP). Although 31 cases of SPHG (GCP) have been reported in Japan, including our case, only 3 cases were removed by endoscopic polypectomy. Flow cytometric analysis also indicated DNA diploid pattern. In addition, 31 cases of SPHG (GCP) were briefly reviewed.
