title: Gastric Polyposis: A Rare Cause of Iron Deficiency Anemia in a Patient With Portal Hypertension.
abstract: Portal hypertension leading to gastric polyposis has rarely been reported. More common gastric manifestations of portal hypertension are portal hypertensive gastropathy and gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE). We report a case of a patient in whom portal hypertension manifested as bleeding gastric polyps leading to transfusion-dependent iron deficiency anemia.
