Juvenile polyposis syndrome lies within the family of hamartomatous polyposis syndromes characterized by polyps that appear benign but harbor an increased risk of colorectal and gastric cancer. This 27-year-old man with severe ulcerative colitis was discovered to have concomitant juvenile polyposis syndrome during diagnostic workup for gastrointestinal bleeding. The implications of this rare association complicate both diagnostic and treatment modalities since both diseases confer an increased risk of cancer.
青少年息肉病综合征属于错构瘤性息肉病综合征家族,其特征是息肉看似良性,但患结直肠癌和胃癌的风险增加。这位27岁患有严重溃疡性结肠炎的男性在因胃肠道出血进行诊断检查时,被发现同时患有青少年息肉病综合征。这种罕见关联的影响使诊断和治疗方式都变得复杂,因为这两种疾病都会增加患癌风险。
