From Gardner fibroma diagnosis to constitutional APC mutation detection: a one‐way street
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a young child without a family history of FAP, who promptly underwent APC testing after the histological confirmation of a paraspinal GAF that was not isolated. Our case report reinforces the suggestion advanced by previous authors for an APC analysis in all patients with GAF.

Neonatal Gardner Fibroma Leads to Detection of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis: Two Case Reports
Gardner fibromas (GFs) have only recently been described as poorly circumscribed tumor-like lesions, which are exceedingly rare in children. GFs are associated with APC gene mutations and therefore with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). So far there is only very limited literature on GF in the neonatal period. We present two children with GF diagnosed at birth and subsequent FAP with very d...
متن کاملA novel mutation of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene results in the formation of supernumerary teeth
Supernumerary teeth are teeth that are present in addition to normal teeth. Although several hypotheses and some molecular signalling pathways explain the formation of supernumerary teeth, but their exact disease pathogenesis is unknown. To study the molecular mechanisms of supernumerary tooth-related syndrome (Gardner syndrome), a deeper understanding of the aetiology of supernumerary teeth an...

Background & Aim: Colorectal polyps are among the commonest lesions encountered by surgical pathologist. In the United States, colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy are recommended for almost all people over the age of 40 years. The development of carcinoma from adenomatous lesions is referred to as the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Virtually, all colorectal carcinomas exhibit genetic altera...

Gardner=s syndrome refers to a group of children born with familial adenomatous (multiple) polyposis and significant extracolonic manifestations. Familial adenomatous polyposis is an autosomal dominant disorder originating from a germline alteration of the adenomatous polyposis coli gene in the long arm of chromosome 5. The most significant extracolonic manifestation of Gardner=s syndrome consi...
متن کاملThe case of the youngest infant with hepatoblastoma with APC gene mutation
Hepatoblastoma is a rare early malignant liver neoplasm occurring in infants and children. Some cases of hepatoblastoma are associated with genetic conditions such as trisomies of chromosomes 18, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). The observed increase in the risk of hepatoblastoma in APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) gene mutation carriers is low, not exceedin...
