Core Tip	In a predominantly Hispanic population, the most common gastric polyps were hyperplastic and fundic gland polyps (more than half of gastric polyps). Gastric hyperplastic polyps were significantly associated with positive Helicobacter pylori status and portal hypertensive gastropathy as compared with fundic gland polyps. Hyperplastic polyps and fundic gland polyps were more prevalent in chronic gastritis, while adenomatous polyps were associated with intestinal metaplasia.
