Abstract

Hyperplastic polyps are one of the most frequently encountered gastric polyps. They are usually asymptomatic and found incidentally during endoscopic examination. With increasing size, they can cause pain abdomen, chronic occult blood loss and even gastric outlet obstruction. Both acute severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding and neoplastic transformation occurs rarely in these types of polyps. We are reporting a case of giant hyperplastic polyp presenting with massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding and histopathological examination showing high-grade dysplasia was successfully managed with snare assisted polypectomy.
