Fundic gland polyp


A fundic gland polyp is a type of polyp, found in the fundus of the stomach. Fundic gland polyps are found in 0.8 to 1.9% of patients who undergo esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and are more common in middle-aged women.
The risk of malignancy is very low or none, when sporadic.
Fundic gland polyposis is a medical syndrome with multiple fundic gland polyps. The condition has been described both in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis and attenuated variants, and in patients in whom it occurs sporadically.
