ABSTRACT
Most of gastric polyps are benign and do not need specific treatment. However, some types have significant malignant potential that can lead to gastric cancer if they are not managed appropriately. The malignant potential depends on the histological type of the polyp, therefore it is important to sample and make biopsies.
RESUMEN
La mayoría de los pólipos gástricos son benignos y no requieren tratamiento específico; no obstante, algunos de ellos pueden malignizarse. Si estos pólipos no son tratados pueden ser causa de cáncer gástrico. El potencial maligno depende del tipo histológico del pólipo, por lo que estas lesiones debieran ser siempre biopsiadas.
