Abstrakt: This article discusses the incidence and risk factors for proximal gastric adenomas in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). The study found that 17% of FAP patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) were diagnosed with proximal gastric adenomas. Risk factors for the development of these adenomas included carpeting fundic gland polyposis (≥100), biliary reflux following duodenectomy, and the use of proton pump inhibitors. However, FAP patients with advanced duodenal disease had a significantly lower risk of developing proximal gastric adenomas. These findings highlight the importance of careful assessment of the gastric mucosa in FAP patients, particularly in those with numerous fundic gland polyps. [Extracted from the article]
