An histological and histochemical study has been performed in 20 cases of fundic gland polyps. In five cases, polyps were numerous and associated, in two cases, with a familial adenomatosis coli. The histological, histochemical characteristics and the study of semi-serial sections suggest that fundic gland polyp is a focal distension of the fundic tube without evidence of an hamartomatous neither a neoplastic origin. Because of a possible association with a familial colonic polyposis, an endoscopical investigation is usefull, specially in fundic gland polyposis.
