Novel classification of gastric polyps:The good,the bad and the ugly

Gastric polyps(GPs)are increasingly common.On upper endoscopy,they should be examined with white light and occasionally chromoendoscopy,and their morphology classified according to the Paris classification.Most GPs have a typical endoscopic appearance and can be associated with diseases like Helicobacter pylori infection.Histological examination is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.While most polyps are non-neoplastic and do not require treatment,some carry a risk of malignancy or are already malignant.Therefore,understanding the diagnosis,classification,and management of GPs is crucial for patient prognostication.Our new classification categorizes GPs into"good","bad",and"ugly"based on their likelihood of becoming malignant.We aim to provide descriptions of the endoscopic appearance,pathology,treatment,and follow-up for different GPs,as well as clinical management flowcharts.

Oral Glucose Combined with Short-Term Intravenous Nutrition for the Prevention of Hypoglycemia after Painless Endoscopic Gastric Polypectomy

Objective: To explore the application effect of oral glucose combined with short-term intravenous nutrition in preventing postoperative hypoglycemia after painless endoscopic gastric polyp resection, and to provide guidance for better management of patients undergoing such procedures. Methods: A total of 886 patients who underwent painless endoscopic gastric polyp resection in the Department of Gastroenterology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Yangtze University, from January 2020 to December 2021, were selected as the study subjects. According to the random number table method, they were divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 443 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were subjected to routine fasting and water restriction for 8 hours before surgery, and routine fasting for 24 hours after surgery. Short-term intravenous nutrition support was provided through fluid supplementation, and finger blood glucose levels were monitored at 1 hour, 4 hours, and 8 hours after completion of intravenous infusion, or when symptoms such as palpitations and cold sweats occurred. The experimental group received oral administration of 5% glucose solution (500 ml) 2 hours before surgery based on the procedures of the control group. The incidence of preoperative discomfort (hunger, thirst, and fatigue), residual gastric fluid volume, and postoperative hypoglycemia were compared between the two groups. Results: The incidence of postoperative blood glucose Conclusion: Based on the study population, oral glucose combined with short-term intravenous nutrition can effectively prevent the incidence of hypoglycemia in patients undergoing painless endoscopic gastric polyp resection. However, due to the limitations of a single-center study and a small number of cases, its feasibility needs to be further validated with more data from multi-center and large-sample cases.

Effect of drug treatment on hyperplastic gastric polyps infected with Helicobacter pylorh A randomized, controlled trial

AIM： To study the effects of drug treatment on hyperplastic gastric polyps infected with Helicobacter pylori （H pylori. METHODS： Forty-eight patients with hyperplasticgastric polyps （3-10 mm in diameter） infected with Hpylori were randomly assigned to a treatment group （n = 24） which received proton-pump inhibitor （omeprazole or lansoprazole）, clarithromycin, bismuth citrate and tinidazole, and a control group （n = 24） which received protective agent of gastric mucosa （tepretone） . Patients underwent endoscopy and H pylori examination regularly before enrollmentand 1-12 mo after treatment. RESULTS： Twenty-two patients in the treatment group and 21 in the control group completed the entire test protocol. In the treatment group, polyps disappeared 1-12 mo （average, 6.5 ± 1.1 too） after the treatment in 15 of 22 patients （68.2%） and H pylori infection was eradicated in 19 of the 22 patients （86.4%）. However, 12 months after the study, no change in polyps or H pylori status was seen in any controls （^bp 〈 0.01）. CONCLUSION： Most hyperplastic gastric polyps disappear after eradication of H pylori.

Multi-slice spiral computed tomography in differential diagnosis of gastric stromal tumors and benign gastric polyps,and gastric stromal tumor risk stratification assessment

BACKGROUND The biological characteristics of gastric stromal tumors are complex,and their incidence has increased in recent years.Gastric stromal tumors(GST)have potential malignant tendencies,and the probability of transformation into malignant tumors is as high as 20%-30%.AIM To investigate the value of multi-slice spiral computed tomography(MSCT)in the differential diagnosis of GST and benign gastric polyps,and GST risk stratification assessment.METHODS We included 64 patients with GST(GST group)and 60 with benign gastric polyps(control group),confirmed by pathological examination after surgery in PLA General Hospital,from January 2016 to June 2021.The differences in the MSCT imaging characteristic parameters and enhanced CT values between the two groups before surgery were compared.According to the National Institutes of Health’s standard,GST is divided into low-and high-risk groups for MSCT imaging characteristic parameters and enhanced CT values.RESULTS The incidences of extraluminal growth,blurred boundaries,and ulceration in the GST group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The CT values and enhanced peak CT values in the arterial phase in the CST group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The MSCT differential diagnosis of GST and gastric polyp sensitivity,specificity,misdiagnosis rate,missed diagnosis rate,and areas under the curve(AUCs)were 73.44%,83.33%,26.56%,16.67%,0.784,respectively.The receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted with the arterial CT value and enhanced peak CT value,with a statistical difference.The results showed that the sensitivity,specificity,misdiagnosis rate,missed diagnosis rate,and AUC value of arterial CT in the differential diagnosis of GST and gastric polyps were 80.18%,62.20%,19.82%,37.80%,and 0.710,respectively.The sensitivity,specificity,misdiagnosis rate,missed diagnosis rate,and AUC value of the enhanced peak CT value in the differential diagnosis of GST and gastric polyps were 67.63%,60.40%,32.37%,39.60%,and 0.710,respectively.The incidence of blurred lesion boundaries and ulceration in the high-risk group was significantly higher than that in the low-risk group(P<0.05).The arterial phase and enhanced peak CT values in the high-risk group were significantly higher than those in the low-risk group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Presurgical MSCT examination has important value in the differential diagnosis of GST and gastric benign polyps and can effectively evaluate the risk grade of GST patients.

Management of hyperplastic gastric polyp following upper gastrointestinal bleeding in infant with Menkes' disease

We report a case of an infant with Menkes' disease(MD) presented at the age of five months,with coffee ground vomiting,melaena with a significant drop of haemoglobin.Urgent endoscopic assessment revealed a friable bleeding trans-pyloric multi-lobulated sessile polyp.Due to further significant upper gastrointestinal bleeding,polypectomy occurred.Endoscopic mucosal resection was performed with a grasp-and-snare technique using a dual channel operating gastroscope.Haemostasis was achieved by application of argon plasma coagulation where required.No perforation occurred.Repeated debridement was required 6 wk after which the growth was excised completely with no further blood transfusion required after that procedure.Histological examination confirmed ulcerated and inflamed hyperplastic polyp.We discuss our endoscopic technique and discuss the reported gastrointestinal manifestation of MD in the literature.

Gastric Polyps in a Digestive Endoscopy Center in Dakar

Introduction: The gastric polyp is a tumor protruding into the gastric lumen. It is asymptomatic most often with a risk of malignant degeneration closely related to its histological nature. These data are very rare in Africa. Objectives: Reporting the frequency and endoscopic and histological characteristics of gastric polyps in the digestive endoscopy center of Aristide Le Dantec hospital in Dakar. Patients and methods: This was a retrospective study carried out in the digestive endoscopy center of Aristide Le Dantec Hospital in Dakar from January 2012 to December 2016. We have included all patients with one or more gastric polyps coupled with histological findings available. Results: There were 60 patients with gastric polyps, hence a prevalence of 0.8%. We included 37 patients. Their mean age was 46 years [21 years - 75 years]. The sex-ratio was 0.48. Epigastralgia was the most frequent endoscopic indication (51.3%). The polyp was unique in 26 patients (70.3%) with an average size of 6.87 mm [2 - 15 mm]. Polyps were sessile in 31 cases (83.8%) and pediculate in 6 cases (16.2%). They were most often in the antrum (51.4%). Antral erosions (13.5%) and fundic atrophy (13.5%) were the main associated endoscopic lesions. These were hyperplastic polyps in 27% of cases and adenoma in 16.2% of cases. Chronic atrophic gastritis (10.8%) and intestinal metaplasia (10.8%) were the main histological lesions associated with polyps. Helicobacter pylori (Hp) were present in 17 patients (45.9%). Conclusion: The prevalence of gastric polyps is 0.8% in the endoscopy center of Aristide Le Dantec hospital. They are usually hyperplastic or adenomatous.

Changes in the spectrum of gastric polyps in the Chinese population

AIM: To evaluate the change in spectrum of gastric polyps in the Chinese population in the past ten years.METHODS: A total of 157902 consecutive patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy(EGD) from 2004 to 2013 in a tertiary hospital were retrospectively reviewed using an EGD database.Endoscopic records of 4043 patients diagnosed with gastric polyps were recalled for analysis.Data including demographics,information on polyps such as location,pathological diagnosis,reflux esophagitis and Helicobacter pylori infection were obtained.We focused on epithelial polyps,especially hyperplastic polyps,fundic gland polyps and adenomas,and histological classification of specimens from biopsy and endoscopic polypectomy was performed by professional pathologists,based on the updated guidelines.To explore the age distribution of gastric polyps over time,we divided patients with polyps into four groups: A(aged < 30 years),B(aged 30-44 years),C(aged 45-59 years) and D(aged > 60 years).Differences in localization,age,and sex distribution of gastric polyps were analyzed by statistical software.RESULTS: A total of 157902 EGD procedures were performed in ten years at our digestive endoscopy center,of which 4043 cases were diagnosed with gastric polyps confirmed by pathology.There were 2574(63%) female and 1469(37%) male patients with an average age of 54.7 years.The overall prevalence of gastric polyps was 2.6%(4043/157902).Our database demonstrated a rising prevalence of gastric polyps over the decade,increasing from 1.0%(80/8025) to 4.70%(828/17787) between 2004 and 2013.There has been a change in the spectrum of gastric polyps with the frequencies of FGPs increasing from 19%(15/80) to 77%(638/828) and hyperplastic polyps decreasing from 65%(52/80) to 15%(123/828).Moreover,data on 1921 polyps in 828 patients diagnosed with gastric polyps in 2013 showed that FGP was the most common type in the current polyp spectrum,making up 81.3%(1562/1921).Location and age distribution of gastric polyps have also altered.The prevalence of polyps located in the antrum decreased from 37.5%(30/80) to 9.30%(77/828),with an increasing prevalence of polyps in the corpus,from 45%(36/80) to 64.25%(532/828).The constituent ratio of older patients(aged > 60 years) in the polyp population decreased from 62.5%(50/80) to 32.13%(266/828),while that of patients aged 45-60 years showed an increased trend.CONCLUSION: There was a shift change in the spectrum of gastric polyps in the Chinese population with altered location and age distribution in the past ten years.

Risk of colorectal polyps in patients with sporadic gastric polyps:A case-control study

AIM:To assess the risk of colonic polyps,adenomas and advanced neoplastic lesions(ANL) in patients with sporadic gastric polyps,especially those with fundic gland polyps(FGP).METHODS:Clinical records of patients who had performed an upper and a lower digestive endoscopy between September 2007 and August 2008 were retrospectively analyzed.A case-control study was carried out,calling patients with gastric polyps as 'cases' and patients without gastric polyps as 'controls'.The risk of colonic polyps,adenomas and ANL(villous component ≥ 25%,size ≥ 10 mm,or high grade dysplasia) was assessed [odds ratio(OR) and its corresponding 95%CI].RESULTS:Two hundred and forty seven patients were analyzed:78 with gastric polyps(cases) and 169 without gastric polyps(controls).Among the cases,the majority of gastric polyps were FGP(80%,CI:69-88) and hyperplastic(20%,CI:12-31);25% had colonic polyps(25% hyperplastic and 68% adenomas,from which 45% were ANL).Among the controls,20% had colonic polyps(31% hyperplastic and 63% adenomas,from which 41% were ANL).The patients with sporadic FGP had an OR of 1.56(CI:0.80-3.04) for colonic polyps,an OR of 1.78(CI:0.82-3.84) for colonic adenomas,and an OR of 0.80(CI:0.21-2.98) for ANL.Similar results were found in patients with gastric polyps in general.CONCLUSION:The results of this study did not show more risk of colorectal adenomas or ANL neither in patients with sporadic gastric polyps nor in those with FGP.

Gastric polyps: Association with Helicobacter pylori status and the pathology of the surrounding mucosa, a cross sectional study

aim:To assess the endoscopic characteristics of gastric polyps and their association with Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)status in a predominantly Hispanic population.m ETHODS:We conducted a retrospective study of all esophagogastroduodenoscopies performed at our institution.Demographic,endoscopic and histopathological data were reviewed.Categorization of patients into Hispanic and Non-Hispanic was based on selfidentification.Patients without resection/biopsy were not included in the analysis.Identification of polyps type was based on histological examination.One way analysis of variance was used to compare continuousvariables among different polyp types and Fisher’s exact test was used compare categorical variables among polyp types.Unadjusted and adjusted comparisons of demographic and clinical characteristics were performed according to the H.pylori status and polyp type using logistic regressions.RESULTS:Of 7090 patients who had upper endoscopy,335 patients had gastric polyps(4.7%).Resection or biopsy of gastric polyps was performed in 296 patients(88.4%)with a total of 442 polyps removed or biopsied.Of 296 patients,87(29%)had hyperplastic polyps,82(28%)had fundic gland polyps and 5(1.7%)had adenomatous polyps.Hyperplastic polyps were significantly associated with positive H.pylori status compared with fundic gland polyps(OR=4.621;95%CI:1.92-11.13,P=0.001).Hyperplastic polyps were also found to be significantly associated with portal hypertensive gastropathy compared with fundic gland polyps(OR=6.903;95%CI:1.41-33.93,P=0.0174).Out of 296 patients,30(10.1%)had a followup endoscopy with a mean duration of 26±16.3 mo.Interval development of cancer was not noted in any of the patients during follow up period.CONCLUSi ON:Gastric hyperplastic polyps were significantly associated with positive H.pylori status and portal hypertensive gastropathy as compared with fundic gland polyps.

Heterotopic Pancreas Presenting as Gastric Polyp

Heterotopic pancreas is defined as pancreatic tissue found outside the usual anatomical location of the pancreas. It is often an incidental finding and can be found at different sites in the gastrointestinal tract. It may become clinically evident when complicated by pathological changes such as inflammation, bleeding, obstruction, and malignant transformation. We report an unusual case of a 25-year-old male patient with pain epigastrium caused by a polyp at the body of stomach along greater curvature revealed at endoscopy. Endoscopic biopsy was s/o inflammatory pathology. Wide excision of polyp was done and a histological diagnosis of heterotopic pancreas was established. The difficulty of making an accurate preoperative diagnosis is highlighted.

Large gastric hamartomatous inverted polyp accompanied by advanced gastric cancer:A case report

BACKGROUND Gastric hamartomatous inverted polyps(GHIPs)are benign polyps of the gastric submucosal layer.Currently there are 52 reported cases in the English literature.According to a literature review,approximately 27%of GHIPs show a coexisting carcinoma.CASE SUMMARY A 66-year-old man was referred to our institution with ulcerative lesions detected on esophagogastroduodenoscopy(EGD)during a regular check-up.Other medical findings were nonspecific.The lesions had borderline histologic features that could not exclude malignancy and were followed up with three EGDs and biopsies at intervals of 3 mo.The latest biopsy was revealed as an adenocarcinoma.A total gastrectomy was performed to remove the tumor.The surgical specimen revealed a 6.9 cm×4.5 cm sized GHIP with a coexisting 1.6 cm sized well-differentiated adenocarcinoma which extended to the muscularis propria.The malignancy did not originate from the GHIP but showed an overlap.CONCLUSION A large GHIP,which was unusually presented as an ulcerative lesion,was surgically removed,and was accompanied by advanced gastric cancer.Regular follow-up and thorough examinations of ulcerative lesions with equivocal biopsy have resulted in appropriate diagnosis and treatment.Therefore,aggressive intervention may be beneficial if GHIP is suspected.

Proton pump inhibitors and an emerging epidemic of gastric fundic gland polyposis

Fundic gland polyps are now commonly recognized during endoscopy. These polyps are benign, often multiple and usually detected in the gastric body and fundus. In the past, these polyps were sometimes associated with familial adenomatous polyposis. In recent years, it has become evident that increasing numbers of these polyps are being detected during endoscopic studies, particularly in patients treated with proton pump inhibitors for prolonged periods. In some, dysplastic changes in these polyps have also been reported. Recent studies have suggested that there may be no increase in risk of colon cancer with long-term proton pump inhibitor therapy. While temporarily reassuring, ongoing vigilance, particularly in those genetically predisposed to colon cancer, is still warranted.

Endoscopic excision of a prolapsing malignant polyp which caused intermittent gastric outlet obstruction

A 69-year-old male with chronic lymphocytic leukemia presented with iron deficiency anemia and post-prandial abdominal fullness. Endoscopy showed a large polyp on a stalk, protruding through the pylorus into the duodenum causing intermittent gastric outlet obstruction. While prolapsing gastric antral polyps are usually benign and hyperplastic, inflammatory or regenerative in type, excisional snare polypectomy here led to complete resolution of his symptoms, but showed a malignant polyp.

Semi/Fully-Automated Segmentation of Gastric-Polyp Using Aquila-Optimization-Algorithm Enhanced Images

The incident rate of the Gastrointestinal-Disease(GD)in humans is gradually rising due to a variety of reasons and the Endoscopic/Colonoscopic-Image(EI/CI)supported evaluation of the GD is an approved practice.Extraction and evaluation of the suspicious section of the EI/CI is essential to diagnose the disease and its severity.The proposed research aims to implement a joint thresholding and segmentation framework to extract the Gastric-Polyp(GP)with better accuracy.The proposed GP detection system consist;(i)Enhancement of GP region using Aquila-Optimization-Algorithm supported tri-level thresholding with entropy(Fuzzy/Shannon/Kapur)and between-class-variance(Otsu)technique,(ii)Automated(Watershed/Markov-Random-Field)and semi-automated(Chan-Vese/Level-Set/Active-Contour)segmentation of GPfragment,and(iii)Performance evaluation and validation of the proposed scheme.The experimental investigation was performed using four benchmark EI dataset(CVC-ClinicDB,ETIS-Larib,EndoCV2020 and Kvasir).The similarity measures,such as Jaccard,Dice,accuracy,precision,sensitivity and specificity are computed to confirm the clinical significance of the proposed work.The outcome of this research confirms that the fuzzyentropy thresholding combined with Chan-Vese helps to achieve a better similarity measures compared to the alternative schemes considered in this research.

Development of a narrow-band imaging classification to reduce the need for routine biopsies of gastric polyps

Background Most incidental gastric polyps identified during upper endoscopy are considered low-risk.However,current guidelines recommend sampling all gastric polyps for histopathologic analysis.We aimed to devise a simple narrow-band imaging(NBI)classification to reduce the need for routine biopsies of low-risk gastric polyps.Methods Pairs of NBI and white-light images were collected from 73 gastric polyps for which concurrent histopathologic diagnosis was available.A diagnostic accuracy cohort study was performed.Two blinded endoscopists independently analysed NBI features of each polyp for color,vessel pattern,surface pattern,and any combinations thereof to develop a classification scheme to differentiate low-risk polyps(fundic-gland or hyperplastic)from high-risk polyps(adenomatous or adenocarcinoma)and fundic-gland polyps(FGPs)from non-FGPs.Results An isolated lacy vessel pattern and a homogenous absence of surface pattern successfully differentiated low-risk from high-risk gastric polyps.Combining both descriptors into a single algorithm resulted in a negative predictive value(NPV)of 100%[95%confidence interval(CI):100%–100%],positive predictive value(PPV)of 13.7%(95%CI:2.6–24.8),sensitivity of 100%(95%CI:100%–100%),and specificity of 53.7%(95%CI:45.3%–62.0%)for high-risk polyps.This would reduce the number of polyps requiring biopsy by 50%,while still capturing all high-risk polyps.Regarding FGPs,using a rule not to biopsy polyps with isolated lacy vessels resulted in a 94.9%NPV(95%CI:89.2%–100%),63.2%PPV(95%CI:47.2%–79.2%),94.8%sensitivity(95%CI:89.5%–100%),and 63.6%specificity(95%CI:51.3%–76.0%)for non-FGPs.Conclusion In this derivation cohort study,NBI is helpful for differentiating between high-risk and low-risk gastric polyps,thereby reducing the need for routine sampling of low-risk polyps.These results need to be validated in a separate test population.

Pathophysiological and clinical aspects of gastric hyperplastic polyps

Gastric polyps become a major clinical problem because of high prevalence and tendency to malignant transformation of some of them. The development of gastric hyperplastic polyps results from excessive proliferation of foveolar cells accompanied by their increased exfoliation, and they are macroscopically indistinguishable from other polyps with lower or higher malignant potential. Panendoscopy allows detection and differentiation of gastric polyps, usually after obtaining histopathological biopsy specimens. Unremoved gastric hyperplastic polyps may enlarge and sometimes spontaneously undergo a sequential progression to cancer. For this reason, gastric hyperplastic polyps larger than 5 mm in size should be removed in one piece. After excision of polyps with atypical focal lesion, endoscopic surveillance is suggested depending on histopathological diagnosis and possibility of confirming the completeness of endoscopic resection. Because of the risk of cancer development also in gastric mucosa outside the polyp, neighboring fragments of gastric mucosa should undergo microscopic investigations. This procedure allows for identification of patients who can benefit most from oncological endoscopic surveillance. If Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) infection of the gastric mucosa is confirmed, treatment strategies should include eradication of bacteria, which may prevent progression of intestinal metaplasia. The efficacy of H. pylori eradication should be checked 3-6 mo later.

A white opaque substance-positive gastric hyperplastic polyp with dysplasia

The endoscopic findings of gastric hyperplastic polyps (HPs) with dysplasia have not been well-defined, and the clinical significance of these lesions, including their malignant potential, is unclear. In this report, we describe a case of a white opaque substance (WOS)positive gastric HP with dysplasia. A 76-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for endoscopic resection of a gastric HP. Upper endoscopy revealed a 25-mm whitish and reddish polypoid lesion on the greater curvature in the lower third of the stomach. The whitish part was diagnosed as a WOS using conventional and magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging. An examination of the biopsy specimen indicated that the lesion was a typical gastric HP. However, because of its color and the presence of a WOS, we suspected that this lesion was an atypical gastric HP. Therefore, we performed a polypectomy. Histopathologically, diffuse lowto high-grade dysplasia was found on the surface of the polyp. We performed immunohistochemical staining using a monoclonal antibody specific for adipophilin as a marker of lipid droplets (LDs). LDs were detected in approximately all of the neoplastic cells, especially in the surface epithelium of the intervening apical parts and were located in the subnuclear cytoplasm of the neoplastic cells. According to endoscopic and histopathological findings, the WOS-positive epithelium indicated dysplasia of the gastrointestinal phenotype, which could absorb lipids. The presence of a WOS in a gastric HP may be considered an endoscopic finding that is predictive of the neoplastic transformation of a gastric HP. We suggest that a WOS-positive gastric HP should be resected endoscopically to investigate its neoplastic transformation.
