ABSTRACT
Hyperplastic polyps are a benign epithelial proliferation and a common type of colorectal and gastric polyps. Malignant change of hyperplatic polyps is rare. Patients with multiple lesions however, tend to have a high frequency of malignancy. Colorectal polyposis syndromes with gastric polyps include familial adenomatous polyposis, Gardners syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, juvenile polyposis and others. But the case of colorectal hyperplastic polyposis with multiple gastric hyperplastic polyps has not been reported until now. A case was recently experienced involving a 32 year old women with both colorectal and gastric hyperplastic polyposis. Multiple hyperplastic polyps were found in the lower part of the body and the antrum of the stomach, rectosigmoid, transverse and ascending colon.

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is widely used in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinomas. We report a case of mult iple liver abscess with bile duct necrosis following gallbladder infarction after TACE in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma. A 62-year old man, wit h four cm sized hepatocellular carcinoma in right lobe, was treat ed by TACE for six times during 18 months. Two days after the last TACE, acute cholecystitis occurred and antibiotics were used until the recovery of cholecystitis. After two months, abdominal CT scan revealed a gas containing liver abscess and percutaneous transhepatic drainage was performed. Cholangiography via drainage cathet er showed findings of bile duct necrosis. Ant ibiotics sensit ive to the causative organism were administered intravenously. However, the abscess persisted despite of treatment for three mont hs.
