Abstract

Gastric polyps are uncommon. The incidence of gastric polyps has been reported between 0.4% and 2.0%. Two histologically distinct forms of gastric polyps are hyperplastic polyps and adenomatous polyps. Hyperplastic polyps are multiple in up to a half of cases. When the polyps number is more than 50, the term "Hyperplastic polyposis" is applied and such cases are even more rare. Polypoid lesions of the stomach have heen reported in many of the polyposis syndromes, such as Familial polyposis coli, Gardners syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrame, Juvenile polyposis and Cowdens disease. Only 1 case of gastric hyperplastic polyposis associated with colonic hyperplastic polyposis has been reported. The patient under study is not included in any polyposis syndrome and has no familial tendency, We report a case of gastric hyperplastic polyposis with colonic hyperplastic polyposis with literatures reviews.
