A case of juvenile gastrointestinal polyposis in an infant is described and the literature is reviewed. Major clinical problems are related to the extent of the juvenile polyposis. The disease has a poor prognosis. The endoscopic techniques used when polyposis is limited allow histologic evaluation of the polyps and conservative treatment.
