Abstract
The formation of carcinoma in the hyperplastic gastric polyp is extremely rare. This paper presents two cases of carcinomas which developed in hyperplastic polyps of the stomach in a 39-year-old man and an 82-year-old man. The problem of malignant transformation of gastric hyperplastic polyps is stressed and discussed in the light of data in the literature.Keywords
