Abstract     Malignant tumors of the upper gastrointestinal tract are major health problem worldwide because of the late diagnosis when the majority of the tumors is usually metastatic. In the article the case of a female patient is presented, who was diagnosed with a polyp of the gastric antrum. Polyp was histologically confirmed as tubular adenoma with a partial malignant transformation into adenocarcinoma. She was treated with endoscopic polypectomy. The aim of this article is to emphasize the meaning of early diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors of upper gastrointestinal tract, which can result in complete remission of the disease.
