Abstract
Pseudo-signet ring parietal cell vacuolation has been described as a mimic of invasive signet ring cell carcinoma. Moreover, signet ring cell carcinoma has been described in a fundic gland polyp. This case demonstrates parietal cell vacuolation in a fundic gland polyp in a patient on a long-term proton pump inhibitor.
Keywords:
fundic gland polyp; pseudo-signet ring cells; vacuolation.
