Gastric lesion in familial polyposis coli is commonly presented with fundic gland hyperplastic polyps, but duodenal and gastric adenomas together with their carcinomatous transformation have been rarely described in familial polyposis coli mostly by case reports. We present three cases of gastric adenomas in familial polyposis coli with one in synchronous development of gastric adenocarcinoma in Korea. All three cases had the family history related to familial polyosis coli and received proctocolectomy because of synchronous development of colonic adenocarcinoma. One patient developed gastric polyposis and adenocarcinoma 8 years after colectomy, and the remaining two presented with multiple polyps either in the stomach or duodenum synchronously at the time of the diagnosis of familial polyposis coli with colonic adenocarcinoma. None disclosed any evidence of Gardner's syndrome. We conclude that association of gastric adenomas in familial oplyposis coli is not uncommon and gastric adenoma-carcinoma sequence is an another important participating mechanism to understand the histogenesis of gastric carcinoma in Korea.
