Isolated diffuse hyperplastic gastric polyposis presenting with severe anemia

Abstract

Introduction: Gastric polyps exist in a wide variety of types, most of which are small and often benign. Discovery of gastric polyps during Endoscopy necessitates biopsies.

Diffuse Gastric Polyposis: A Rare Case Report

“…[1]. Some cases have been reported in Europe and Asia with variation in prevalence in different countries [2].…”

“…In our case, the tumour was not palpable and the patient was anaemic. This suggest that gastric inflammatory hyperplastic polyps may present with various signs and endoscopic examination remain important tool for identification of gastric tumours as it provides a minimally invasive approach to diagnosis and treatment [1]. Familial history of cancer can be considered and may be useful during diagnosis especially when this type of lesion is suspected in young aged patients.…”

Sporadic diffuse gastric polyposis: Report of a case

“…According to other case reports, we found no signifi cant family history. 1,5,6 However, especially in young patients, it appears that these lesions may be associated with polyposis syndromes, such as familial adenomatous polyposis, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, juvenile polyposis, Gardner syndrome, and Cowden disease.…”

“…1 Thus far, there have been only a few reports of gastric hyperplastic polyposis. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Gastric adenomas are defi ned as circumscribed, polypoid lesions, composed of either tubular and/or villous structures, lined by dysplastic epithelium. Most of these adenomas are solitary; however, multiple adenomas have been reported in the context of familial adenomatous polyposis.…”

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

“…Gastrin is believed to favor neoplastic growth (5,6). In diffuse gastric polyposis, a less common disorder, the gastric mucosa is largely filled with polyps (at least more than 50) and patients are usually affected by severe anemia (5,7).…”
