Case report: multiple gastric adenomatous polyps- a rare occurrence

Abstract

Multiple gastric polyps usually occur as a part of multiple polyposis syndrome of the gut. Multiple gastric polyps are rarely encountered in general surgical practice, with an incidence of <1% including those detected incidentally. Most common multiple gastric polyps are hyperplastic polyps. Multiple adenomatous gastric polyps without polyps anywhere else in gut is a very rare occurrence. Aggressive approach with total gastrectomy should be done to all cases of multiple adenomatous gastric polyps due to the high chances of developing cancer even if it localised.
