Six cases of foveolar hyperplastic polyp of the stomach disappeared and reduced after the eradication of Helicobacter pylori

Abstract

The relationship between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and foveolar hyperplastic polyp has been reported. In our study, 6 cases of foveolar hyperplastic polyp located on antrum or angulus were disappeared and reduced after the eradication of H. pylori.
It is considered that this phenomonen is due to the improvement of H. pylori-induced mucosal inflammation. This result suggests that the H. pylori eradication may be expected as a new treatment of foveolar hyperplastic polyp.
