Gastric hamartomatous polyps in the absence of familial polyposis coli

M Tatsuta et al. Cancer. .

Abstract

Hamartomatous polyps in the stomach have been described as gastric lesions of familial polyposis coli. Four cases of multiple gastric hamartomatous polyps not associated with polyposis coli were encountered. Histologically, all these polyps consisted of normal oxyntic glands with numerous cystic dilatations of the glandular lumens of various sizes. Endoscopically, the polyps were all located in the acid secreting area and had an acid secreting function, which was revealed by the endoscopic Congo red test.
