Case description

Multiple Adenomas in the Sigmoid are displayed. Colonoscopy revealed hundreds of polyps throughout the colon. The principal cause of mortality is colorectal cancer, which develops in all patients unless they are treated. The mean age at which colorectal cancer develops in patients with classic FAP is 39 years. Patients with adenomatous polyposis itself often are asymptomatic.
