[Juvenile gastric polyposis: differential diagnosis for recurrent nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain and diarrhoea]

11 Oct 2009 HISTORY AND ADMISSION FINDINGS: A 46-year-old woman presented with nausea and vomiting, colics and localized pain in the upper abdomen. There was a family history of juvenile polyposis (3 of 4 siblings). Twelve years ago a colectomy had been ... Read more...

The assessment of specimens procured by endoscopic ampullectomy.

29 Sep 2009 Endoscopic ampullectomy (EA) is increasingly used in the management of ampullary neoplasia. Although studies on the safety and efficacy of this procedure exist, no study has specifically addressed the histopathologic features of the specimens. We ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Adenomatous Polyposis Coli'

Definition: A polyposis syndrome due to an autosomal dominant mutation of the APC genes (GENES, APC) on CHROMOSOME 5. The syndrome is characterized by the development of hundreds of ADENOMATOUS POLYPS in the COLON and RECTUM of affected individuals by early adulthood. The lifetime risk of colorectal cancer in these patients reaches 100 percent by age 60.
