Abstract
Gastric polyps are often an incidental finding on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Hyperplastic polyps are the most commonly encountered gastric polyps (75%). Most of gastric polyps are asymptomatic but they may present with occult bleed, obstruction or abdominal pain. We report a case of an 80-year-old woman who presented with a benign gastric polyp causing an intermittent gastric outlet obstruction, who was successfully treated with resection.
