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
Clinical significance
- Weak association with FAP (familial adenomatous polyposis).[1][2]
- Associated with chronic proton pump inhibitors (PPI) use -- approximately 4x risk.[3]
Notes:
- Animal studies suggested PPIs cause neuroendocrine tumours -- but this has not been found in humans.[4]
Gross
- Polyp - usuallly in fundus, may be in body of stomach.

Microscopic
Features:[5]
- 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.
