Abstract
BACKGROUND: First described in 1988, attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (AFAP) is a rare autosomal dominant precancerous condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Few reports have described adenocarcinomatous change in the gastroduodenal region thus far. CASE OUTLINE: We report a case of AFAP presenting with extensive gastric polyposis and ampullary adenocarcinoma in absence of a positive family history of gastrointestinal cancer and a novel mutation.Entities:
