Abstract:
We present 3 cases of Early Gastric Cancer in 82 Hyperplastic Polyps (HP) resected endoscopically (3.6%) during the years 1985 to 1989, at the GI Cancer Center "Dr. Luis E. Anderson", San Cristobal, Venezuela. The diagnosis criteria followed were those of Nakamura, T and Nagayo T. This paper shows the possibility of malignant changes of these lesions, advising endoscopic resection of HP as a mean of treatment and in order to make a complete study of the polyps. We compare our data with existing bibliography, finding similitude in results.
