Hyperplastic gastric polyp with foci of ossification.

Published in: Clinical case reports (2018)

Stromal ossification has been reported in relation with gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. Heterotopic ossification of benign gastric polyps with bone formation is rarely documented and sometimes associated with calcification. Thus, the presence of foci of metaplastic bone (FMB) does not always imply GI cancer.
