Intestinal Polyposis Syndrome

Excised polyps presented as benign hamartomas, without malignant alteration. Mucocutaneous pigmentations were present in 4 patients. Family history was revealing in only 2 cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Dentist

    Recognition of the characteristic pigmentation by dentists may lead to early diagnosis of associated hamartomatous polyps or neoplastic disease that may be life-threatening. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Intestinal Disease

    CT and MR techniques have the added advantage that both offer the capability of imaging extra-intestinal disease associated with many of the colon polyposis syndromes. [suprepkit.com]

  • Tenesmus

    The common presentations are rectal bleeding, mucous diarrhea, or tenesmus. The number of polyps can vary from 1 to over 100 [32]. They are sessile or semipedunculated. [file.scirp.org]

  • Dysgeusia

    Hypogeusia or dysgeusia, progressive anorexia, xerostomia, or neurologic symptoms (such as seizures) has also been reported [3], although our patient did not have these symptoms. [file.scirp.org]

  • Myopathy

    Cutaneous features frequently include freckling of the glans penis (85% of male patients), lipomas (70% of patients), myopathy (60% of patients), hamartomatous GI polyps (45% of patients), hemangiomata (10% of patients), and telangiectasias. [emedicine.medscape.com]

    BRRS patients have, in addition to their hamartomatous intestinal polyposis, macrocephaly, lipomas, hemangiomas, lipid myopathy, mental deficiency, craniofacial anomalies, and pigmented macules on the shaft and glans of the penis [ 1, 3, 6, 7, 10 ]. [omicsonline.org]

  • Polyps

    A subgroup of patients will develop periampullary carcinoma, again arising from the presence of adenomatous polyps. Such a case is presented. These polyps should be surgically excised to ensure adequate pathologic examination. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Polyp Development Polyps in classic FAP develop during the first and second decade of life. Polyp development in classic FAP occurs in the rectosigmoid. Polyps less than 2 mm are often difficult to see without dye spray. [clinicaladvisor.com]

    However, children with several polyps, polyps in the rest of the intestine or polyps with unusual characteristics when studied in the lab may have a far more serious condition. [childrensmercy.org]

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, with overall mortality exceeding 40% even with treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These situations can fall into a gray area, not only for diagnosis, but also for the correct treatment and follow-up. New developments in pathophysiology and treatment options are leading to new questions. [books.google.de]

Management options Colectomy is the only effective treatment to prevent colorectal cancer. In patients with high grade dysplasia or hundreds of polyps, colectomy is recommended. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Clinical management There are two goals of gastrointestinal surveillance in JPS: (1) preventing complications and morbidity related to polyps (i.e. GI bleeding, anemia) and (2) detection and prevention of cancer [ 13 ]. [omicsonline.org]

Maintaining a healthy diet can help prevent the development of colonic polyps. This includes eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meat. You may also be able to prevent polyps by increasing your intake of vitamin D and calcium. [healthline.com]
