Giant Hyperplastic Polyp at the Gastroesophageal Junction: A Rare Provocateur of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Esophageal hyperplastic polyps (HPs) are a rare benign polypoidal growth most commonly resulting from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The lesion is asymptomatic in most patients unless large enough to cause luminal obstruction or gastrointestinal bleeding. The treatment of choice is endoscopic resection if it becomes symptomatic. Here, we report a case of a 51-year-old woman presenting with dyspeptic symptoms and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a large polyp with active oozing of blood at the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), which was removed endoscopically after injecting adrenaline at its base. Histopathological analysis was suggestive of HPs.
