Extracolonic manifestations of familial polyposis coli. 1987

D G Jagelman

The original concept of familial polyposis coli (FPC) that it is only a genetically determined premalignant disease of the colon changed in the 1950s, with the description of Gardner's syndrome. The extracolonic manifestations of osteoma and epidermoid cyst since have been shown to be only a small part of the spectrum of both benign and malignant extracolonic manifestations of the disease. The modern concept of this condition is that FPC is a genetically determined generalized growth disorder that gives rise to tumors in various parts of the body.

D011125	Adenomatous Polyposis Coli	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.

D005736	Gardner Syndrome	A variant of ADENOMATOUS POLYPOSIS COLI caused by mutation in the APC gene (GENES, APC) on CHROMOSOME 5. It is characterized by not only the presence of multiple colonic polyposis but also extracolonic ADENOMATOUS POLYPS in the UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT; the EYE; the SKIN; the SKULL; and the FACIAL BONES; as well as malignancy in organs other than the GI tract.
