Adenocarcinoma arising in adenomatous polyposis coli

Abstract

Familial adenomatous polyposis coli (FAP) is an inherited syndrome in which numerous polyps form mainly in colonic epithelium. Risk for cancer development gradually increases in such a condition if left untreated. Due to apparent symptoms such as rectal bleeding and abdominal pain, patients usually diagnosed at an early age. We report a FAP case with malignant transformation which is diagnosed at emergency department.

Adenomatöz polipozis koli zemininde gelişen adenokarsinom

Abstract

Familyal adenomatöz polipozi koli (FAP) özellikle kolon epitelinde çok sayıda polip oluşumuyla karakterize genetik geçişli bir sendromdur. Tedavi edilmediği takdirde kanser gelişme riski giderek artmaktadır. Rektal kanama ve karın ağrısı gibi aşikar semptomlardan dolayı hastalar genellikle erken tanı almaktadır. Biz burada acil serviste tanı konulmuş olan malign transformasyon göstermiş bir FAP olgusunu sunmaktayız.
