Zusammenfassung:The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of the different types of gastric polyps in the Daniel Alcides Carrión Hospital between the years of 2014 and 2016, and also define the endoscopic and histopathological characteristics of the lesions. 7559 endoscopic reports were reviewed, in which 148 gastric polyps were found. The patients age and sex as well as the localization, number, size and macroscopic and microscopic aspects of the polyps were recorded. The prevalence of gastric polyps was 1.9%; 74.3% of these were found in women with an average age of 61.5 years. 59.4% of the gastric polyps found were singular, and the majority were located on the body and antrum of the stomach. 74.29% of the polyps were less than 1 cm in diameter and 83.64% of these were sessile when seen macroscopically. According to the histological type, it was found that the majority of gastric polyps were hyperplasic (76.4%), followed by fundic gland polyps (17.5%) and gastric adenomas (6.1%). It was also found that multiple gastric polyps were associated with fundic gland polyps while singular polyps were most likely hyperplastic or adenomas. The prevalence of fundic gland polyps has increased, while the other types of polyps have maintained their estimated prevalence.
