Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Diffuse gastric polyposis involves extensive polyp coverage of the gastric mucosa.
  • Early detection is crucial for managing potential complications and associated syndromes.

Observation:

  • A 59-year-old female presented with anemia, leading to the incidental discovery of diffuse gastric polyposis.
  • Diagnostic procedures included esophagogastroduodenoscopy, double-contrast barium upper gastrointestinal roentgenography, and colonoscopy.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with diffuse gastric polyposis.
  • Treatment involved total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy.

Implications:

  • Differential diagnosis must include inherited gastrointestinal polyposis syndromes.
