[Sporadic fundic gland polyposis--a case study].
We report a case of fundic gland polyposis (FGP) in a non-familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patient. The patient was suffering from persistent heartburn. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed multiple polyps of a few millimetres. Histopathology was consistent with the diagnosis of FGP. Fundic gland polyps are among the most common of all gastric polyps. Dysplasia in FGP is rare but is seen in patients suffering from FAP. In patients with FGP, sigmoideoscopy is recommended to exclude FAP.
