Abstract

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary disease characterized by the growth of multiple colorectal epithelial adenomas. It is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by an APC gene defect. Degeneration to colorectal cancer is considered unavoidable in these patients if they do not receive adequate therapeutic management.

We present the case of a 25-year-old female patient consulted after a change in her evacuation pattern and abdominal pain. She had no relevant family history associated but based on results of paraclinical tests diagnosis of FAP was made for which therapeutic management was implemented. This is a case report with a literature review and update of the topic highlighting clinical issues related to recognition of the disease and issues that should be taken into consideration for the prevention of cancer in patients with FAP.
