Summary

The present study describes a family (mother and son) with Gardner's syndrome. Aside from the classical findings, gastric polyposis was found; histologically glandular cysts of the fundic mucosa were diagnosed. The occurrence of gastric polyps in Gardner's syndrome has recently been described with increasing frequency. These lesions have various histological aspects. A number of authors have noted several cases of Gardner's syndrome with glandular cysts of the fundic mucosa, but to our knowledge this is the first case of familial occurrence.

Key words:

Gardner's syndrome - Glandular cysts of stomach
