چکیده
We report the case of a 62-year-old woman with a history of liver cirrhosis secondary to autoimmune hepatitis, portal hypertension and coagulopathy. Gastroscopy was performed to discard esophageal varices. In the gastric antrum a multiple polypoid and polylobed lesions were observed, occupying prepyloric region and extending into the pylorus and duodenal bulb (Fig. 1). Ultrasonography was performed to confirm absence of varices at that level. The larger lesions (8, 10, 12 mm) were removed with snare and thermocoagulation. Hemostasis security (hemoclips) was placed to reduce the risk of delayed bleeding. Pathological study described gastric hyperplastic polyps with edema, vascular congestion and smooth muscle hyperplasia without dysplasia or adenomatous changes (Fig. 2).
