Plain-English summary
An 11-week-old male French Bulldog was brought in for projectile vomiting after eating, which had been happening for three weeks and didn’t improve with medication. An ultrasound showed a small growth in the stomach that was causing a blockage. The growth was identified as a hyperplastic polyp, which is a non-cancerous overgrowth of stomach tissue. The puppy underwent surgery to remove the blockage, and the procedure was successful, allowing him to recover and eat normally again.

Abstract
An 11-week-old male entire French Bulldog was presented with a 3-week history of projectile vomiting after eating that was unresponsive to medical therapy. Ultrasonographic examination revealed a 1 x 2 cm pedunculated polypoid mass in the pyloric antrum. Histopathology showed this to be comprised of a pedunculated hyperplastic proliferation of gastric mucosal epithelium and submucosa, with dilatation of the glandular pits and a moderate degree of submucosal fibrosis and small amount of smooth muscle hyperplasia in the submucosa. The tunica muscularis was not involved in the polyp and appeared to be of normal thickness. Surgical treatment by pylorectomy and end-to-end gastroduodenostomy (Billroth I) was successful.
