Abstract
|
|
|
Familial colonic polyposis is a rare disease and characterized by multiple, variable sized adenomatous polyps in the entire colon and rectum.
It is transmitted as a mendelian dominant, non-sex linked trait. A case of familial polyposis coli is presented with a brief review of literature.
Melena, diarrhea and intermittent abdominal pain are common symptoms and usually occur in the third decade. Multiple familial polyposis coli is a precancerous lesion and its diagnosis can be made by the histological confirmation of adenomatous polyp and precise family history. Successful treatment depends on the early diagnosis, appropriate surgical operation (usually total colectomy), and follow-up care. The patient was a twenty-year old Korean male who had a diffuse polyposis in the colon and rectum without any malignant evidence. His mother and brother had polyposis coli. A total Proctocolectomy and permanent ileostomy was performed because the rectum was carpeted with polyposis.
