| Abstract: | We report three cases of fundic gland polyposis in the stomach identified in three patients who were related. Grossly the numerous polyps covered an area limited to the body and fundus of the stomach, no polyps were found in the antrum, duodenum, colon, or rectum, and histologically, the gastric lesions consisted of numerous hamartomatous polyps, characterized by proliferation of the fundic and cystic glands. The gastric lesions were identified in families without polyposis coli. This type of fundic gland polyposis has never been documented before in the literature. |
