Associated conditions

Approximately 5% of all the cases are associated with highly penetrant inherited mutations.

Lynch syndrome:

  • Endometrial cancer is the most common extra-colonic malignancy associated with this syndrome. (Lynch syndrome causes approximately 2% of all endometrial cancers)[1]
  • Other cancers associated with Lynch syndrome: gastric, ovarian, hepatobiliary tract, upper urinary tract, small bowel, brain (glioblastoma) and pancreatic [2] [3].
  • Other: keratoacanthomas, sebaceous adenomas/carcinomas.


Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)

  • Polyps of the Upper gastrointestinal tract.
    • Gastric fundic gland polyps: found in approximately 50% of individuals,and can be profuse [4]
    • Adenomatous polyps in the stomach: usually located in the antrum, less common than fundic gland polyps.
    • Dysplastic changes in fundic gland polyps: common, no concern unless dysplasia is severe[5]
    • Adenomatous polyps in the duodenum: found in approximately 50% of individuals, commonly found in the second and third portions of duodenum. (Duodenal cancer is the second most common malignancy in FAP or attenuated FAP [6].
  • Additional cancers: colon, duodenum, periampullary, stomach, thyroid, hepatoblastoma, medulloblastoma.
  • Other: osteomas (skull and mandible), congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE), epidermoid cysts, fibromas, dental abnormalities, and desmoids [7].


MUTYH-associated polyposis

  • Gastric and duodenal polyps (11% and 17% of patients)
  • Duodenal cancer
  • Other: ovarian, bladder, skin, sebaceous gland tumors and possibly breast cancer.


Hamartomatous polyposis conditions:

  • Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS)
    • Cancer: Breast, colon, pancreas, stomach, ovary, lung, small bowel, uterine, cervix, testicle.
    • Other: mucocutaneous pigmentation, gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps.
  • Juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS)
    • Cancer: colon, stomach, pancreas, small bowel.
    • Other: gastrointestinal hamartomatous (juvenile) polyps, HHT, congenital defects.


Hyperplastic polyposis (HPP)

  • Cancer: colon
  • Other:Hyperplastic polyps, sessile serrated polyps, traditional serrated adenomas and mixed adenomas.
