 ==Overview==
+Symptoms of familial adenomatous polyposis include diarrhea, melena, and weight loss.
+==History and Symptoms==
+The most common symptoms of familial adenomatous polyposis are:
+*Melena
+*[[iron deficiency anemia]] due to bleeding
+*If [[colon cancer]] develops, [[weight loss]]and altered bowel habit may develop.
-==History aand Symptoms==
-* From early [[adolescence]] and onwards, patients with this condition develop hundreds to thousands of polyps. These may bleed, leading to [[blood in the stool]].
-* If the [[blood]] is not visible, it is still possible for the patient to develop [[anemia]] due to gradually developing [[iron deficiency]].
-* If [[malignancy]] develops, this may present with [[weight loss]]and altered bowel habit.
-* The [[genetic]] determinant in familial polyposis may also predispose carriers to other malignancies, e.g. of the [[duodenum]] and [[stomach]].
