A case of gastric hyperplastic polyposis is reported in a 48-year old woman, with iron deficiency anemia. An hyperplastic gastric polyposis was discovered. This patient had been operated 17 years previously for a large adenomatous polyp of the caecum. Her son had also several adenomatous polyps of the right colon. A gastrectomy was performed. Hyperplastic gastric polyposis is very rare, and is quite always associated with colorectal adenomas. The relationship between gastric hyperplastic polyposis and intestinal polyposis is not quite clear.
