| [ Summary ] |
Since gastrointestinal (GI) polyposes frequently present with gastric involvement, esophagogastroduodenoscopy can aid in the diagnosis of such conditions. We will review the endoscopic features of gastric involvement in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), Cowden disease (CD), juvenile polyposis (JP), familial fundic gland polyposis （FFGP）, and Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS). Early diagnosis of GI polyposes is crucial because various types of malignancies can develop during their clinical course. Precise knowledge concerning gastric involvement is mandatory for the early recognition of GI polyposis using esophagogastroduodenoscopy. |
