Fundic gland polyps (FGP) are common gastric polyps. While dysplasia is rare in FGP, this case highlights its occurrence in a patient without familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), necessitating further investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Fundic gland polyps (FGP) are common gastric lesions.
  • Dysplasia within FGP is typically rare.
  • Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is associated with increased risk of dysplasia in FGP.

Purpose:

  • To report a case of fundic gland polyposis (FGP) in a patient without a history of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).
  • To discuss the implications of dysplasia in FGP in non-FAP patients.

Summary:

  • A patient presented with persistent heartburn and was diagnosed with fundic gland polyposis (FGP) via esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
  • Histopathology confirmed FGP, and despite the absence of FAP, the presence of dysplasia was noted.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering FAP screening in FGP patients, even without a known family history.

Impact:

  • Highlights the importance of histopathological evaluation for dysplasia in FGP, irrespective of FAP status.
  • Suggests that sigmoideoscopy may be warranted in FGP patients to rule out underlying FAP.
  • Contributes to understanding the spectrum of FGP and its association with dysplasia.
