Gastric polyps are lesions that are often evaluated by the endoscopist. Among them incidence of Fundic gland polyp (FGP) showing an increasing pattern these days due to various associated conditions like long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. This study was designed to evaluate the conditions that were associated with the presentation of FGP including PPI therapy of ≥ 6 month. Our study concluded with a high incidence of 14% longterm PPI intake of ≥ 6 month among the patients presented with FGP. Beside that a high female predominance, potent association with gastritis and negative Helicobacter Pylori status, Personal habits like Smoking and alcohol intake also appeared as an important factor associated with FGP. Our current findings can serve as an assistance to evaluate associated conditions like FGP in patients with PPI intake of 6 month or more presenting with features of gastritis irrespective of HP status and give a high concentration on personal habit modification like alcohol and smoking in the treatment of FGP patients.
