Huge Juvenile Polyps of the Stomach: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Watanabe et al. [3] first reported a case of juvenile polyposis of the stomach in 1979. Since after, it was proposed as the fourth category of juvenile polyposis [4]. Juvenile polyposis of the stomach is, however, difficult to diagnose because of rare phenotype and difficulty of differential diagnosis between juvenile polyp and foveolar hyperplastic polyp histologically by biopsy specimens. We herein report a case of juvenile polyposis of the stomach.
