    Gao et al. BMC Gastroenterology (2020) 20:167 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12876-020-01238-7 CASE REPORT Open Access Juvenile polyposis syndrome might be misdiagnosed as familial adenomatous polyposis: a case report and literature review Xian Hua Gao1,2†, Juan Li3†, Zi Ye Zhao1,2†, Xiao Dong Xu1,2,YiQiDu2,4, Hong Li Yan2,5, Lian Jie Liu1*, Chen Guang Bai2,6* and Wei Zhang1,2* Abstract Background: Juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) is a rare disorder characterized by the presence of multiple juvenile polyps in the gastrointestinal tract, and germline mutations in SMAD4 or BMPR1A. Due to its rarity and complex clinical manifestation, misdiagnosis often occurs in clinical practice. Case presentation: A 42-year-old man with multiple pedunculated colorectal polyps and concomitant rectal adenocarcinoma was admitted to our hospital. His mother had died of colon cancer. He was diagnosed with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and underwent total proctocolectomy and ileal pouch anal anastomosis. Two polyps were selected for pathological examination. One polyp had cystically dilated glands with slight dysplasia. The other polyp displayed severe dysplasia and was diagnosed as adenoma. Three years later, his 21-year-old son underwent a colonoscopy that revealed more than 50 pedunculated colorectal juvenile polyps. Both patients harbored a germline pathogenic mutation in BMPR1A. Endoscopic resection of all polyps was attempted but failed. Finally, the son received endoscopic resection of polyps in the rectum and sigmoid colon, and laparoscopic subtotal colectomy. Ten polyps were selected for pathological examination. All were revealed to be typical juvenile polyps, with cystically dilated glands filled with mucus.

JPS is an inherited condition which mainly affects the stomach and large intestine (also known as the large bowel or colon and rectum). A diagram of the intestine can be found later in this booklet on page 9. People with JPS develop polyps, which are like small cherries on stalks, inside their stomach, colon and rectum. There are many types of polyps but these are called juvenile polyps. The term “juvenile” refers to the type of polyp rather than to the age of the patient when the polyps develop. Most people with JPS have some polyps by the time they are 20 years old. Some may only have three or four polyps over their lifetime, while others may have hundreds. Juvenile polyps often bleed and if they are left untreated may cause anaemia (iron deficiency in the blood). Most juvenile polyps are non-cancerous, however may become cancerous if left untreated. Chromosome 9 Chromosome 18 Chromosome 10 An Introduction to Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome 3 What causes JPS? JPS is a genetic condition, which means it is caused by an altered gene.

  • For GI Cancer, a Digital and Molecular Reset
    For GI cancer, a digital and molecular reset Anne Paxton October 2019—You may not be curling up next to the fire with a cup of hot chocolate to read your copy of the new Digestive System Tumours, part of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumours Series. You’re more likely to have it sitting nearby at work with dog-eared pages and a cup of coffee on it, says Ian Cree, MB ChB, PhD, head of the WHO Classification of Tumours Group and editorial board chair of the latest and fifth edition. Still, as essential reference guides in medicine go, the freshly minted 635-page tome, released worldwide in June, is a ravishing picture book. Featuring more than 1,000 high-resolution color graphics, Digestive System Tumours, the first volume of the fifth edition of the WHO series known as the Blue Books, brings a noticeable improvement in image quality and graphic design over the fourth edition, published in 2008. The book’s two-column layout, replacing the former three-column design, allows for enlarged images throughout. And this book is the first to be produced in both a print version and an online subscription version that includes whole-slide imaging. Dr. Washington More important, the book has been rewritten and reorganized to incorporate new tumors, new information about how each tumor behaves, and other significant advances in classification since the 2008 edition. “The new edition was a worldwide, collective project that brought together pathologists from Asia, South America, Europe, North America, Australasia, and Africa to collaborate using the best available evidence and practices,” says Mary Kay Washington, MD, PhD, professor of pathology, microbiology, and immunology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and a standing member of the WHO series editorial board.
