A man with diabetes, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation visited the emergency department for melena. Emergency upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed bleeding from a gastric hyperplastic polyp. Hemostasis was performed with clips, and EMR was performed the next day. The histopathology diagnosis was early gastric cancer in gastric hyperplastic polyp. In cases of major bleeding from gastric hyperplastic polyp, it is important to perform hemostatic treatment in a way that allows for accurate pathological diagnosis.
