Gastric Juvenile Polyposis with High-Grade Dysplasia in Pachydermoperiostosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) is the primary form of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. It is a very rare disease consisting of pachydermia, digital clubbing and radiologic periostosis. Various digestive symptoms in PDP are seen in 11-49% of patients and juvenile polyps may be found at gastric endoscopy. We report here the history of a patient with PDP who was referred for assessment of severe anemia. Endoscopy of the upper digestive tract showed multiple polyps of the stomach with two huge lesions exhibiting foci of high-grade dysplasia. This observation suggests that PDP can be considered as a precancerous condition of the stomach and systematic screening using endoscopy should be considered in these patients.

Gastric dysplasias. A clinicopathological study of 35 cases.
Gastric epithelial dysplasia (GED) represents a recognized precursor lesion of gastric adenocarcinoma. GED types can be classified according to its morphology and patterns of mucin expression into adenomatous (intestinal), foveolar (gastric) and hybrid (mixed) types. We examined gastroscopic specimens with GED in 35 patients (21 men and 14 women, mean age 69.6 years). Adenomatous dysplasia was ...

Fundic gland polyps (FGPs) are the most common type of gastric polyps (up to 50%). They are found in up to 0.8-1.9 % of the general population, and in 40-84 % of the patients suffering from familial polyposis syndromes. They might be sporadic or associated to polyposis syndromes. When the former, they should be considered exclusively benign lesions, and possibly related to the chronic use of pr...

Benign polyps of the stomach undergo malignant transformation at a rate correlating to the histological type and size of the proliferative lesion. We report a case of a 50-year-old Caucasian woman, affected by a diffuse gastric polyposis of both hyperplastic and adenomatous type. At endoscopy polyps were more than 1,000, scattered over the entire gastric cavity. The patient underwent total gast...
