Abstract
For many years, the relationship between gastric polyps and gastric carcinoma have been discussed. In this regard, the hamartomatous and the mesenchymal polyps can be neglected, only the so-called epithelial polyps should be taken into consideration. It is important to differentiate between nonneoplastic (tumor-like) and neoplastic epithelial polyps [3]. The so-called hyperplasiogenous polyp, according to Elster [2], can be regarded as a nonneoplastic lesion.
