[A special type of hyperplastic polyps of the stomach (author's transl)]

Five patients with hyperplastic polyps of the stomach were found in the course of 573 double contrast examinations over a period of six and a half months. The radiological findings were similar in all cases, consisting of multiple small round mucosal elevation with sharp margins, situated in the body of the stomach. They can probably extend into the fundus and the pylorus. Histological examination has indicated that these polyps are the result of an inflammatory process.
