Hepatogastroenterology. 1997 May-Jun;44(15):918-20.

Abstract

Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis most often have multiple polyps in the large bowel and also in the gastroduodenal region. There are reports of regression or disappearance of colorectal and duodenal polyps while on sulindac therapy. We report here what seems to be the first case of regression of gastric polyps while on indomethacin suppository treatment.
