Figure 1 (A) Fundic gland polyp (magnification 4×): Numerous microcystic glands are noted in an irregularly expanded oxyntic mucosa. The surface epithelium is smooth, with short foveolae. (B) At higher power (magnification 20×) one can appreciate that the microcysts are lined by budding parietal cells (arrows), chief cells, and mucous cells. There is virtually no inflammation in the lamina propria. Hematoxylin and eosin stains.
