TI  - The Relationship Between Hyperplastic Gastric Polyps AndHelicobacter Pylori
AB  - Objective: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative bacterium. It is urease positive,mobile, microaerophilic, and spiral-shaped, and it settles in the stomach and the proximalduodenum. It is associated with chronic gastritis, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, stomachcancer, and MALT lymphoma. It can also cause premalignant lesions, such as metaplasia andgastric atrophy. Although several studies are investigating the correlation between H. pyloriand hyperplastic polyps (HPs) of the stomach, uncertainty in this regard continues.Methods: Data from 5378 patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy at theDepartment of Gastroenterology, Gülhane Training and Research Hospital,University Of Health Sciences between October 2016 and March 2019 were retrospectivelyanalyzed, and patients with gastric polyps were evaluated for polyp pathologies and normalmucosa biopsies.Results: Sixty-one stomach polyps were detected in 49 patients after the retrospectiveanalysis of the data between October 2016 and March 2019. Of the polyps found, 36 werehyperplastic (73%). There was no statistically significant difference between HPs and thepresence of H. pylori, age, gender, anatomical location of polyps in the stomach, size,number, presence of metaplasia, or atrophy. The mean age was statistically lower in H.pylori-positive cases.Conclusions: No correlation was observed between HPs and the presence of H. pylori. Thereis a need for more extensive, multi-centered, and prospective studies evaluating therelationship between HPs and H. pylori.
