Gastric Xanthomatous Hyperplastic Polyps – Just an Incidental Endoscopic Finding?

Review Data

Purpose and Significance of Study: This is a report of a case of gastric xanthomatous hyperplastic polyp (which is rare) in a young man suffering from severe obesity and metabolic syndrome.

 

Fit with Scope of Journal: The manuscript is of very high interest for the journal Surgical Case Reports.

The manuscript contains a few minor errors (already corrected in the galley proof, except the highlighted one, which requires the author’s attention), which are listed below –

The common errors are –

·       Omission of articles, e.g., “the” before “literature” in the last sentence of Conclusions in the Abstract, “the” before “patients” in the 6^th sentence of Histological findings during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in the Background, and so on.

·       Omission of “,”, e.g., after “knowledge” in the 5^th sentence of Conclusions in the Abstract, after “now” in the 2^nd sentence in the 2^nd paragraph of Gastric hyperplastic polyps and xanthomatous hyperplastic polyps in the Background, and so on.

·       Usage of incorrect prepositions, e.g., “to” after “associated” must be replaced with “with”in the 3^rd sentence of Conclusions in the Abstract, “on” after “polyp” must be replaced with “in” in the last sentence of the Background, and so on.

·       “Xanthelasma” has been misspelled multiple times.

·       “Helicobacter pylori” must be italicized as it is a scientific name.

·       “Workup” must be written as a single word.

The others are –

In the Background –

  Under Histological findings during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy –

·       In the 4^th sentence, “represent” must be replaced with “represents”.

  Under Gastric hyperplastic polyps and xanthomatous hyperplastic polyps –

   In the 2^nd paragraph –

·       In the 2^nd sentence, “eradicate” must be replaced with “eradicated”.

In the Case presentation –

·       In the 11^th sentence, “jatal” before “hernia” does not make sense; hence it must be replaced. Also, “were diagnosed” must be removed.

In the Conclusions –

  In the 2^nd paragraph –

·       In the 1^st sentence, “premalignant” must be hyphenated to maintain consistency.

  In the 3^rd paragraph –

·       In the 1^st sentence, “Pubmed” and “Reaseachgate” must be replaced with “PubMed” and “ResearchGate” respectively.

·       In the 7^th sentence, “except” must be replaced with “apart”.

  In the last paragraph –

·       In the 3^rd sentence, “addressed to” must be replaced with “suggested”.

·       In the last sentence, “according” must be replaced with “in accordance”.
