A 70-year-old woman was referred for epigastralgia and anemia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy with a conventional endoscope showed numerous gastric polyps with no cancerous findings. Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (M-NBI) showed cancerous findings, anda target biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma. Histopathological findings after endoscopic resection confirmed a diagnosis of juvenile polyposis with intramucosal adenocarcinoma. Genetic analyses revealed a germline pathogenic variant of SMAD4 . A target biopsy using M-NBI and endoscopic resection proved useful for confirming the preoperative diagnosis of coexisting cancerous lesions in GJP.\u003Cbr>Key words: juvenile polyposis, SMAD4, magnifying endoscopy, narrow-band imaging\u003Cbr>(Intern Med 62: 3333-3339, 2023)\u003Cbr>(DOI: 10.2169/internalmedicine.1612-23) |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| \u003Cbr>Introduction | ered (5, 6) .
