ABSTRACT
Resumen Introducción: Los pólipos gástricos suelen ser hallazgos en la endoscopia digestiva alta. Objetivo: Realizar una revisión de los pólipos gástricos más frecuentes y presentar un caso de manejo de estos con gastrectomía total laparoscópica según el protocolo fast track. Caso clínico: Se presenta el caso de un paciente hombre de 46 años, sin antecedentes mórbidos con poliposis difusa del estómago sintomática, en el que se realiza una gastrectomía total laparoscópica siguiendo el protocolo fast track, siendo dado de alta al cuarto día posoperatorio. Discusión: Los pólipos gástricos más frecuentes son los hiperplásicos, de glándula fúndica, adenomas e inflamatorios. Es fundamental obtener biopsias de estos ya que su histología comandará su manejo y pronóstico. En algunos casos, la gastrectomía total es la indicación debido a su riesgo de malignidad o sintomatología. El protocolo fast track ha demostrado ser una modalidad de manejo posoperatorio que disminuye el tiempo de estadía hospitalaria y presenta una recuperación precoz en comparación con la práctica habitual, sin comprometer la seguridad del paciente.
Introduction: Gastric polyps are commonly found incidentally on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Objective: Review the most common gastric polyps and present a case of symptomatic polyps managed with laparoscopic total gastrectomy following the fast track protocol. Clinical case: Patient with symptomatic diffuse gastric polyps who had a total laparoscopic gastrectomy following the fast track protocol, who is discharged at home at fourth day post-surgery. Discussion: The most common are hyperplastic polyps, fundic gland polyps, adenomas and inflammatory fibroid polyps. Is very important to obtain biopsies to assess the histology and malignant potential. In certain cases a total gastrectomy is recommended. The fast track rehabilitation protocol is a safe method to decrease hospital stay and improve recovery.

Cowden's disease, a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by benign hamartomatous overgrowth of various tissues, increases the risk of cancer of the thyroid, breast, endometrium, prostate, and possibly other organs. Generally, germline mutations in the coding sequence for PTEN are found in 80% of patients with Cowden's disease. Here we report a rare case of incidentally discovered gastric polyposis during esophagogastroscopy for medical screening in a patient with a history of surgery for breast and thyroid cancer. Identifyng the mutation in the PTEN gene to a diagnosis of Cowden's disease.

Gastric polyps encompass a wide variety of lesions that most commonly arise from the gastric epithelium. However, coincidental gastric carcinomas have rarely been reported, being found in only 2~3% of patients with hyperplastic polyps. A 68-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for bleeding control of a gastric polyp. The gastroscopy shows numerous polyps in the entire gastric mucosa and a huge ulcer with bleeding. The bleeding of the gastric ulcer could not be controlled by gastroscopic procedures. So, we performed total gastrectomy for bleeding control. The pathologic findings shows poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with hyperplastic polyps. We performed treatment with Cisplatin and 5-FU for two cycles. Two months postoperative, he was admitted due to dyspnea associated with ascites. We performed a ckeckup by computer tomography. It revealed cancer recurrence with lymphatic and liver metastasis, and diffuse massive ascites with mesenteric cake, and it suggested cancer peritonei.
