Evaluation of the oncogenic risk of diffuse gastric polyposis: A case report

Abstract: Benign polyps of the stomach undergo malignant transformation at a rate correlating to the histological type and size of the proliferative lesion. We report a case of a 50-year-old Caucasian woman, affected by a diffuse gastric polyposis of both hyperplastic and adenomatous type. At endoscopy polyps were more than 1,000, scattered over the entire gastric cavity. The patient underwent total gastrectomy. The perilesional gastric mucosa was characterized by the presence of either atrophic or metaplastic areas and… Show more

“…In our case, serial examinations performed during a 6-year follow-up period indicated that the patient's condition was stable. Similarly, a recent report showed that a female patient with more than 1,000 diffuse gastric polyposis underwent total gastrectomy, but there was no evidence of malignant progression found by immunohistochemical or molecular investigations (18). However, we are continuing to observe our patient and using EUS and EMR to monitor the lesion.…”

“…По данным разных авторов [1,5], в 1,9-19% ГПЖ обнаруживается дисплазия эпителия, риск ее развития возрастает по мере увеличения объема полипа [4]. Дисплазию покровно-ямочного эпителия мы установили в 14,2% ГПЖ: легкая дисплазия -в 50% наблюдений, умеренная дисплазия -в 33,3%, тяжелая дисплазия -в 16,7% полипов.…”

“…Общепринято, что гиперпластические полипы желудка -это доброкачественные опухолеподобные образования, малигнизация возможна только в крупных полипах диаметром более 2 см. По данным разных авторов, злокачественная трансформация обнаруживается в 0,6-2,1% гиперпластических полипов [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. В нашем исследовании развитие аденокарциномы диагностировали в одном крупном ГПЖ, что составило 2,4% всех наблюдений.…”
