Case description

Patients with Familial Polyposis should be examined by an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at time of diagnosis, and at regular intervals, mainly because of a risk of malignant changes in the duodenum. The hyperplastic polyposis often seen is probably not associated with any significant risk of malignancy.
