Abstract
Foveolar hyperplastic polyps are the most popular polyp of the stomach arise from the mucosa of chronic active gastritis. Recent studies suggested hyperplastic polyp arise from inflammatory process of H.pylori gastritis and disappeared or reduced after H.pylori eradication therapy. We report three cases of foveolar hyperplastic polyps of the stomach, in all cases, foveolar hyperplastic polyps of the stomach disappeared and reduced after H.pylori eradication therapy.
Eradication of H.pylori is considered to be the first choice therapy against hyperplastic polyps with H.pylori gastritis because of its effectiveness and non-invasiveness.
