Hyperplastic polyps are very rare and often solitary. Usually they have no symptoms, if they weresymptomatic, they would have gastro intestinal (GI) bleeding, abdominal pain, early fullness of stomach,intermittent obstructive pattern. The patient was a 45 year old woman that complained about fatigue, malaise,dizziness and had severe anemia (Hb: 3.9 gr/dl). She didn’t mention abdominal pain, bloating and, other GIdisorders. In endoscopy, many grape like polyps were seen in the stomach; also scattered ones in other parts ofGI were observed which none of them were malignant. The patient was operated (Billirot II) and dischargedwith good general condition. She was hospitalized 4 times during 11 years after surgery because of cardiacdecompensation and died finally due to Congestive Heart Failure. The case is interesting and considerablebecause of the large amount of polyps in the stomach, a few polyps in other parts of GI, absence of obviousalimentary signs or symptoms, severe anemia without active GI bleeding (in spite of extensive pathology inthe stomach) or malignancy.
