Abstract

A 75-year-old male was diagnosed to have a gastric polyp by routine uppergastrointestinalendoscopy in 1985. The lesion was located on the greater curvature of the antrum of thestomach. Histological examination of biopsy specimens showed hyperplastic polyp. In 1995, polypectomy was performed, because histological examination of biopsy specimensrevealed group IV prior to the treatment. Pathologically, the lesion was diagnosed as welldifferentiated adenecarcinoma. fn this study we report a case of early gastric cancer arisingfrom a hyperplastic polyp.
