ABSTRACT

We report the case of a 42-year-old male who presented with postprandial, non bilious, non projectile vomiting for 4 months. Patient underwent gastrojejunostomy 10 years back for post corrosive gastric outlet obstruction. General physical and systemic examinations were within normal limits. Routine laboratory investigations including complete blood count, liver and renal function tests were also within normal limits. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed solitary pedunculated polyp at the gastrojejunostomy site almost completely obstructing the lumen at the gastrrojejunostomy site. Endoscopic snare polypectomy of the gastrojejunostomy site polyp was done. Histopathological examination of the polyp was suggestive of hyperplastic polyp. After snare polypectomy patient became asymptomatic and is doing well at 6 months of follow up. (J Dig Endosc 2013;4(2):42-43)

Key Words:

Gastric outlet obstruction - Gastrojejunostomy - Polyp - Polypectomy.
