  • Title: Giant hyperplastic polyps of the gastric remnant simulating carcinoma.
    Author: Glick SN, Teplick SK, Amenta PS.
    Journal: Gastrointest Radiol; 1990; 15(2):151-5. PubMed ID: 2180777.
    Abstract:
    Large hyperplastic polyps of the gastric remnant were detected in 2 male patients who had undergone Billroth II gastrojejunostomy for peptic ulcer disease 13 and 18 years earlier. Both patients presented with iron deficiency anemia due to chronic occult gastrointestinal bleeding. The clinical and radiographic findings were initially suggestive of gastric stump malignancy, and one of the resected hyperplastic polyps contained foci of carcinoma in situ. We illustrate the radiographic and pathologic features of these lesions together with a review of the pertinent literature.
