title: Gastric polyps as precancerous lesions.
abstract: Gastric polyps cover a wide range of possible diagnoses. Endoscopically, the nature of the lesions can be diagnosed with a high level of probability. Nevertheless, histopathological diagnosis remains mandatory. The macroscopic appearance of gastric polyps is described together with underlying histopathological diagnoses, which are determinative for subsequent treatment.
