Abstract

A 33-year-old women, who needed PEG because of bulbar palsy with multiple sclerosis 8 years ago, had a gastric hyperplastic polyp in contact with PEG. In this case, we suspect that the polyp was caused by mechanical stimulation of the internal bumper to the gastric mucosa. Gastric hyperplastic polyps can cause gastric hemorrhage and gastric cancer and therefor, gastric hyperplastic polyps related to the internal bumper are important potential long term complications of PEG.
