Gastric Hyperplastic Polyposis in Familial Adenomatous PolyposisHyperplastic polyposis in the stomach is not an infrequent finding in Familial Polyposis. These hyperplastic polyps do not cause any symtoms and do not need any treatment.Gardnerīs Syndrome, a variant of Familial Polyposis, is associated with other extraintestinal manifestations, as multiple osteomas, dental abnormalities and soft tissute tumours especially of the skin. Gastric and duodenal polyps are as frequent in Gardnerīs syndrome as in Familial Polyposis.
 
Gastric Hyperplastic Polyposis in Familial Adenomatous PolyposisPatients with Familial Polyposis should be examined by an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at time of diagnosis, and at regular intervals, mainly because of a risk of malignant changes in the duodenum. The hyperplastic polyposis often seen is probably not associated with any significant risk of malignancy.
