Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Hyperplastic gastric polyps are common benign lesions.
  • Gastric polyps can cause various gastrointestinal symptoms.

Observation:

  • A large hyperplastic gastric polyp prolapsed into the duodenum.
  • The polyp obstructed the ampulla of Vater.

Findings:

  • The obstruction led to acute pancreatitis.
  • Imaging findings are discussed, including endoscopic and radiological views.
  • Literature review on similar cases is presented.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for significant complications from seemingly benign gastric polyps.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent severe outcomes like pancreatitis.
