Abstract:
Benign gastric inflammatory hyperplasic polyps are benign lesions that rarely occur in young age. We report a case of diffuse benign gastric inflammatory hyperplastic polyps in a 19 year old male patient who presented with cough, nausea, and haematemesis. In the presented case symptoms such as nausea and vomiting are non specific and may complicate in reaching a prompt diagnosis. We also highlight the importance of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) endoscopy in the diagnosis of GIT diseases.
