Introduction

 Juvenile polyp is a common paediatric intestinal polyp constituted of prominent, cystic glandular dilatation circumscribed by an inflamed stroma. Juvenile polyp demonstrating SMAD4 genetic mutations may concur with aggressive gastric polyps and emergence of gastric carcinoma. Lesion manifests focal mucosal hyperplasia with minute hyperplastic polyps commonly accompanied by inflammation, ulceration and scarring of superficial mucosal surfaces. Cystic dilatation, mucus accumulation with crypt occlusion and enlargement of cystic articulations ensues.
