The formation of carcinoma in the hyperplastic gastric polyp is extremely rare. This paper presents two cases of carcinomas which developed in hyperplastic polyps of the stomach in a 39‐year‐old man and an 82‐year‐old man. The problem of malignant transformation of gastric hyperplastic polyps is stressed and discussed in the light of data in the literature.
