ABSTRACT Objectives A ‘gray color sign’ (GCS) is a new endoscopic feature of fundic gland polyp associated with proton pump inhibitor (PPI‐FGP). Here, we compare the ability of texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) to white light imaging (WLI) with regard to the detection of GCS. Methods In this prospective study, 19 consecutive patients with PPI‐
