| STOMACH, BIOPSY:
| |
| - ANTRAL-TYPE AND BODY-TYPE GASTRIC MUCOSA WITH PROMINENT CAPILLARIES
| |
| AND MODERATE CHRONIC INACTIVE INFLAMMATION.
| |
| - NEGATIVE FOR HELICOBACTER-LIKE ORGANISMS.

| - NEGATIVE FOR INTESTINAL METAPLASIA.

| |
| | |
| COMMENT:
| |
| No fibrin thrombi are seen. The findings are compatible with portal hypertension.
| |
| Clinical correlation is required.

| COMMENT:
| |
| The polyp is consistent with the type described by Lam et al. in a set of individuals
| |
| with portal hypertension. (Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol 23 (12): 1245-9.)
