Summary

A case of generalized juvenile gastrointestinal polyposis associated with gastric adenocarcinoma is described.

A 31-year-old male patient developed polyposis of the stomach complicated by gastric carcinoma and multiple polyps in the colon. Polyps of the stomach and colon were pathologically consistent with juvenile polyp, but adenomatous changes were also present in a very small percentage of the juvenile polyps. This case strongly suggests the possibility of carcinoma developing in patients with generalized juvenile gastrointestinal polyposis.

Key words:

Generalized juvenile gastrointestinal polyposis - Gastric adenocarcinoma
