Abstract:
Familial adenomatous polyposis and Gardner's syndrome originate from a chromosomal abnormality, and their incidence is very rare. These diseases frequently have a familial tendency, but 10-20% do not. We experienced two cases of familial adenomatous polyposis. One had a familial tendency and was only a colonic abnormality in a 25-year-old man. The other, a 25-year-old woman had not familial tendency and lesions were consisted of colonic polyposis, a desmoid tumor of abdominal wall, and congenital hypertrophy of both retinal pigmented epithelia. We report these cases with a brief review of the literature.
