The endoscopic sanitation is possible in patients operated upon for diffuse polyposis in cases of the absence of malignization of the polyps in the other parts of the colon. The endoscopic polypectomy performed on patients with diffuse polyposis allows preserving the rectum in 88.8% and the upper parts of the gastrointestinal tract in 99.1% of the cases.

Article Synopsis
- Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) is a rare, nonhereditary condition characterized by gastrointestinal polyps, ectodermal changes, and symptoms such as hair loss, skin pigmentation, and malnutrition, predominantly affecting middle-aged and older males.* -
- The case study involves a 72-year-old female who experienced severe gastrointestinal issues, which led to the discovery of multiple polyps through endoscopic examinations after her treatment for intestinal obstruction.* -
- Following a comprehensive treatment plan that included medications and nutritional support, the patient showed significant improvement in symptoms, with reduced diarrhea and a notable decrease in the number and size of polyps upon follow-up examination.*

Background: Infantile Juvenile polyposis of infantile (JPI) is a rare and aggressive form of juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) typically diagnosed in the first year of life. It often carries a poor prognosis due to chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, protein-losing enteropathy, malnutrition and immune deficiency.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a girl initially presented with pallor at 7 months of age, which progressed to gastrointestinal bleeding and protein-losing enteropathy.

Context.—: Manifestations of immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) occur in several organ systems and anatomic locations, including the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Other processes affecting the sinonasal tract, such as chronic rhinosinusitis, aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease, and nasal polyposis, also involve IgG4.
