Abstract
A case of gastric hyperplastic polyposis is reported in a 48-year old woman, with iron deficiency anemia. An hyperplastic gastric polyposis was discovered. This patient had been operated 17 years previously for a large adenomatous polyp of the caecum. Her son had also several ade nomatous polyps of the right colon. A gastrectomy was performed. Hyper plastic gastric polyposis is very rare, and is quite always associated with colorectal adenomas. The relationship between gastric hyperplast ic polyposis and intestinal polyposis is not quite clear.
