Endoscopic and microscopic findings in patient No II. Multiple sessile polyps were seen in the normal gastric corpus in July 1998 (A). Biopsies confirmed hyperplasia of the fundic gland with microcysts (B). Endoscopy two years later revealed diffuse erythematous mucosa with complete disappearance of all polyps (C). Biopsy specimens showed neutrophilic infiltration concentrated in the foveolar compartment (D). Two months after completion of Helicobacter pylori eradication, endoscopy demonstrated resolution of erythematous change of the fundic mucosa and no recurrence of polyps (E). On histological examination, gastritis was reduced and the fundic glands had hyperplastic changes (F). Endoscopic photographs (top) show the same view in the corpus.
