Polyp

dodger21

I had a follow up endoscopy yesterday. While I don't have the biopsy results yet, the photo and surgeons report said there is evidence of a "occgastric polyp". Has anyone ever had one of them come up?

Hi Dodger
Danielle, I have not heard of occgastric polyps. I hope your endoscopy results come back clean! Take are and keep us posted!

Maybe the report meant
Maybe the report meant "occasional gastric polyps"? I found this by googling "gastric polyp":

"Gastric polyps are typically found incidentally when upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is performed for an unrelated indication; only rarely do they cause symptoms or other clinical signs. Nevertheless, their discovery can be important since some types of polyps have malignant potential."

You could do a search for more information, if it's going to be awhile before you see a doc to discuss it.

Hope it's nothing to worry about!
