Abstract
Fundic gland polyps (FGPs) are multiple, sessile polypoid bumps formed by the gastric mucosa of the fundus and body, which are the most common type of gastric polyps and generally tend to be benign. Studies have shown that patients with FGPs have a higher risk of developing colorectal tumors (adenoma and cancer) than the general population, but their correlation is still controversial. This article is aimed to review the clinical features of FGPs and their correlation with colorectal tumors.
