'''Fundic gland polyp''', abbreviated '''FGP''', is a relatively common pathology of the [[stomach]]. It is associated with [[familial adenomatous polyposis]] and proton pump inhibitor use.


==General==
*Most common stomach polyp.<ref name=pmid20567540/>

*Polyp - usuallly in fundus, may be in body of stomach.

*Polypoid shape (may not be appreciated on microscopy).
*Dilated gastric glands.
**Flatted epithelial lining (consisting of normal foveolar epithelium) - '''key feature'''.
Notes:
*The presence of dysplastic changes should prompt consideration of ''FAP''.
DDx:
*[[Hyperplastic polyp of the stomach]] - has foveolar hyperplasia, gland dilation may be present.
*[[Gastric columnar dysplasia]] - esp. in the context of FAP.

<pre>
POLYP, STOMACH, BIOPSY:
- FUNDIC GLAND POLYP.
- NEGATIVE FOR INTESTINAL METAPLASIA.
- NEGATIVE FOR HELICOBACTER-LIKE ORGANISMS.
- NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
</pre>
===Multiple polyps with PPI use===
<pre>
POLYPS, STOMACH, POLYPECTOMY:
- FUNDIC GLAND POLYP (x3).
- NEGATIVE FOR INTESTINAL METAPLASIA.
- NEGATIVE FOR HELICOBACTER-LIKE ORGANISMS.
- NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
COMMENT:
Several fundic gland polyps were removed previously. Fundic gland
polyps are associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP),
gastric adenocarcinoma and proximal polyposis of the stomach (GAPPS),
and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use.
PPI use appears to be the most likely explanation in this case,
in the context of the provided history; however, FAP and GAPPS should be
considered clinically.
</pre>
===Polyposis===
<pre>
Partial Stomach, Sleeve Gastrectomy:
- Fundic gland polyposis, see comment.
- NEGATIVE for intestinal metaplasia.
- NEGATIVE for Helicobacter-like organisms.
- NEGATIVE for dysplasia and negative for malignancy.
Comment:
Sixteen fundic gland polyps are identified on microscopy. At least forty polypoid lesions
were seen at the time of grossing.
Fundic gland polyps are reported in association with proton pump inhibitor use, familial
adenomatous polyposis (FAP), and gastric adenocarcinoma and proximal polyposis of the
stomach (GAPPS). The possibility of FAP and GAPPS should be considered.
