Abstract
OBJECTIVE: In our study, we aimed to evaluate the endoscopic features such as prevalence and localization of polypoid lesions determined by us using esophagogastroduodenoscopy and histopathological characteristics of biopsy specimens taken in detail.METHODS: The data of 19,560 patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for any reason between 2009 and 2015 in our endoscopy unit were screened retrospectively and endoscopic and histopathological findings were analyzed in detail.RESULTS: In our study, the polypoid lesion was detected in 1.60% (n=313) of 19,560 patients. The most common localization of the polypoid lesions was determined to be gastric localization (n=301, 96.2%) and antrum with a rate of 33.5% (n=105). When 272 patients in whom biopsy specimen could be taken was investigated, the most frequently seen lesion was polyp (n=115, 43.4%). Hyperplastic polyps (n=81, 29.8%) were the most frequently seen type among all polyps. In histopathological evaluation of the lesions, the prevalence rates of intestinal metaplasia (IM), surrounding tissue IM, atrophy, dysplasia, and neoplasia (adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, neuroendocrine tumor, and metastatic tumor) among premalignant lesions were determined to be 16.9%, 11.2%, 4.1%, 1.1%, and 3.7%, respectively.CONCLUSION: Polypoid lesions can be seen in endoscopic investigations. In histopathological investigations, while the vast majority of these lesions are benign polyps, some of them are diagnosed as premalignant or malignant lesions. In our study, we determined malignant lesions higher than the similar studies in the literature. This condition shows how effective endoscopic procedure and histopathological evaluation are of vital importance
