Article abstract:
Hyperplastic polyps are very rare and often solitary. Usually they have no symptoms, if they were symptomatic, they would have gastro intestinal (GI) bleeding, abdominal pain, early fullness of stomach, intermittent obstructive pattern. The patient was a 45 year old woman that complained about fatigue, malaise, dizziness and had severe anemia (Hb: 3.9 gr/dl). She didn’t mention abdominal pain, bloating and, other GI disorders. In endoscopy, many grape like polyps were seen in the stomach; also scattered ones in other parts of GI were observed which none of them were malignant. The patient was operated (Billirot II) and discharged with good general condition. She was hospitalized 4 times during 11 years after surgery because of cardiac decompensation and died finally due to Congestive Heart Failure. The case is interesting and considerable because of the large amount of polyps in the stomach, a few polyps in other parts of GI, absence of obvious alimentary signs or symptoms, severe anemia without active GI bleeding (in spite of extensive pathology in the stomach) or malignancy.
