T. Davion et al., HYPERPLASTIC GASTRIC POLYPOSIS AND FAMILI AL COLONIC ADENOMAS - REPORT OF ONE CASE, Gastroenterologie clinique et biologique, 20(3), 1996, pp. 298-302
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.
