Juvenile polyps are regarded as hamartomatous polyps and occur in sporadic and familial syndromic settings. There is increased risk of gastrointestinal neoplasia in patients with juvenile polyposis syndrome, but the molecular mechanisms are not known. We therefore studied 78 colorectal juvenile polyposis from 12 patients with juvenile polyps syndrome and 34 sporadic juvenile polyps for epithelial dysplasia and genetic changes associated with colorectal neoplasia. Dysplasia occurred in 31% of syndromic juvenile polyps but not in sporadic juvenile polyps (P < 0.0001). Topographic control of proliferation and expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21(WAFI/CIP1) seen in native colorectal epithelium was lost in 79% of dysplastic juvenile polyps and in 8% of nondysplastic juvenile polyps (P < 0.000001). Somatic mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene were demonstrated in 50% of dysplastic juvenile polyps (3 of 6) but not in any of 16 juvenile polyps without dysplasia (P = 0.01). Both sporadic and syndromic juvenile polyps had K-ras mutations (14%) and there was no relationship to dysplasia. p53 gene product overexpression identified by immunohistochemical staining occurred rarely in dysplastic juvenile polyps (2 of 24, 8%). Our results indicate that the multiple genetic alterations involved in usual colorectal neoplasia also play a role in neoplastic transformation of juvenile polyps, predominantly in juvenile polyposis syndrome. 相似文献

What is a juvenile polyp? An analysis based on 21 patients with solitary and multiple polyps 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
BACKGROUND: Juvenile polyps, the most common pediatric gastrointestinal polyp, have been typically characterized as either hamartomatous overgrowths or reactive inflammatory proliferations. Recent observations of excessive colonic and gastric carcinoma and dysplasia in juvenile polyposis have prompted reclassification of this entity as a premalignant condition. The relationship between solitary or multiple juvenile polyps and malignancy is less clear. PATIENTS AND METHODS: To further investigate the frequency and significance of dysplasia in juvenile polyps, we analyzed 28 polyps from 21 patients histologically and immunohistochemically for substances previously associated with neoplastic transformation in the colorectal adenomacarcinoma sequence. RESULTS: Fifteen patients had a solitary polyp, two had 2 to 9 polyps, and four had polyposis with 10 or more polyps. Most polyps exhibited inflammatory or regenerative atypia. Foci of dysplasia were noted in polyps from 11 patients, and immunoreactivity for p53 and human chorionic gonadotropin was present in 12 of the 28 polyps each. These findings were all more frequent in the polyposis specimens than in solitary polyps. CONCLUSIONS: These observations, in combination with reports of an increased risk of carcinoma in juvenile polyposis, suggest that juvenile polyps are lesions with a potential for neoplastic and malignant transformation, although they share features of an inflammatory reactive process. The implications for clinical management of patients and pathologic evaluation of juvenile polyps warrant further investigation. 相似文献

Data on the clinical presentation of constitutional mismatch repair deficiency syndrome (CMMRD) is accumulating. However, as the extraintestinal manifestations are often fatal and occur at early age, data on the systematic evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract is scarce. Here we describe 11 subjects with verified biallelic carriage and who underwent colonoscopy, upper endoscopy and small bowel evaluation. Five subjects were symptomatic and in six subjects the findings were screen detected. Two subjects had colorectal cancer and few adenomatous polyps (19, 20 years), three subjects had polyposis‐like phenotype (13, 14, 16 years), four subjects had few adenomatous polyps (8, 12–14 years) and two subjects had no polyps (both at age 6). Of the three subjects in the polyposis‐like group, two subjects had already developed high‐grade dysplasia or cancer and one subject had atypical juvenile polyps suggesting juvenile polyposis. Three out of the five subjects that underwent repeated exams had significant findings during short interval. The gastrointestinal manifestations of CMMRD are highly dependent upon age of examination and highly variable. The polyps may also resemble juvenile polyposis. Intensive surveillance according to current guidelines is mandatory. 相似文献

Molecular genetic analysis of exons 1 to 6 of the APC gene in non-polyposis familial colorectal cancer 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Familial adenomatous polyposis coli is caused by constitutional mutations in the APC gene. The hallmark of familial adenomatous polyposis coli is the presence of numerous (>100) colorectal polyps, but mutations in the 5' end of the APC gene have been associated with familial colorectal cancer without florid polyposis. Although familial adenomatous polyposis coli accounts for only a minority of familial colorectal cancer cases, we hypothesised that APC mutations which were not associated with florid polyposis might make a significant contribution to nonpolyposis familial colorectal cancer. To investigate this possibility, we analysed 40 unrelated patients with familial colorectal cancer without classical familial adenomatous polyposis coli for mutations in exons 1 to 6 (codons 1 to 243) of the APC gene. No mutations were detected, but a C→T polymorphism at nucleotide 333 (Arg→Trp at codon 99) was identified. No 5' APC mutations were detected in two patients with desmoid tumours and a family history of colorectal cancer and polyps. We conclude that mutations in exons 1 to 6 of the APC gene are infrequent in patients with familial colorectal cancer who do not have many colorectal polyps. 相似文献

Metaplastic polyps and polyposis of the colorectum 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Five hundred and fifty-four colorectal metaplastic polyps have been studied histologically. Whilst most lesions were small and sessile, 16.1% measured greater than 0.5 cm in diameter and 0.9% were greater than 1 cm. The larger polyps were frequently pedunculated and occasionally showed a tubulo-villous or villous pattern. A structural similarity between the larger metaplastic polyps and colorectal adenomas is illustrated and the importance of the distinction of metaplastic from dysplastic epithelium in the differentiation of these lesions is stressed. Other unusual features of metaplastic polyps are described. Evidence is given to suggest that males have a greater propensity to develop metaplastic polyps than females. A search for metaplastic-like areas in other colorectal polyps revealed that they are rare (0.6%) in adenomas, but relatively frequent (20.8%) in juvenile polyps. Finally, seven patients with multiple metaplastic polyps of the colorectum are described, in whom a diagnosis of adenomatous polyposis had been made at some stage in their management. Six of the seven patients were males and the mean age at presentation was 37.4 years. Larger metaplastic polyps were frequent in these cases. The necessity for histological confirmation in all cases of intestinal polyposis is stressed, and the possibility that 'metaplastic polyposis' is a pathological entity is discussed. 相似文献

Two main colorectal polyposis syndromes have been described, familial adenomatous polyposis and MUTYH-associated polyposis syndromes. Some polyposis remains unexplained: 20% of adenomatous polyposis and serrated polyposis. The aim of this study was to evaluate in a cohort of patients with unexplained polyposis whether a genetic defect could be detected. Individuals presenting polyposis with more than 40 adenomas or more than 20 serrated polyps (hyperplastic, sessile serrated and mixed), without causative mutation identified, were included. Complementary explorations on APC or MUTYH were performed: search for APC mosaicism, splicing-affecting mutations, large genomic rearrangement of MUTYH. Four genes of Wnt pathway (AXIN2, PPP2R1B, WIF1, SFRP1) and two genes of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) pathway (SMAD4, BMPR1A) were screened for germline mutation. Twenty-five patients had an unexplained adenomatous polyposis (familial or sporadic). Five pathogenic mutations were found: four in APC gene (with one case of mosaicism) and one in BMPR1A gene. The exploration of APC mosaicism was better performed from adenoma DNA with high-resolution melting. The screening of the candidate genes did not find any causative mutation. Thirteen individuals had an unexplained serrated polyposis and a frameshift on SMAD4 gene was identified. All mutations were identified in familial cases of polyposis. After new pathological examination, both BMPR1A and SMAD4 cases were found to be associated with a juvenile polyposis while the polyposis was initially described as adenomatous or undetermined. In 17% (6/38) of the patients the causative mutation of the polyposis was identified. Genetic causes were heterogeneous. Sporadic polyposis patients must be considered as potential APC mosaicism. The histological classification of polyposis is strongly important in direct genetic exploration. 相似文献

Atypical juvenile polyposis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Two cases of atypical juvenile polyposis are described in males of 9 months and 25 years-of-age. The first was associated with congenital megacolon and presented as juvenile polyps with features suggesting mild dysplasia. In the second case six histological lesions are found: 1 hyperplastic polyps; 2 juvenile polyps; 3 hyperplastic polyps with adenomatous areas; 4 juvenile polyps with areas of dysplastic epithelium; 5 adenomas; and 6 adenocarcinomas. On the basis of the morphological features we propose a pathogenetic sequence of focal mucosal hyperplasia to adenoma and carcinoma through stages of non-neoplastic and non premalignant polyps. Finally, the possibility that hyperplastic epithelium can in some circumstances have a greater dysplastic potential than normal colorectal mucosa is raised. 相似文献

We investigated the case of a 13-year-old male with juvenile polyposis (JP) to determine the extent of intraepithelial neoplasia and associated genetic changes, as well as cellular proliferation, within these polyps using immunohistochemistry with antibodies against p53, bcl-2, and Ki-67. Examination of the total proctocolectomy specimen revealed 70 polyps. The 18 largest polyps were investigated microscopically and disclosed the typical hamartomas with frequent erosions of the surface epithelium and reparative changes. Only one polyp showed focal low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. The immunohistochemical studies revealed an expression of p53 and an abnormal Ki-67 pattern of the surface epithelium only within the neoplastic area. These findings may hint at a possible pathogenetic mechanism for the evolution of colorectal cancer in JP. As in ulcerative colitis, carcinomas in JP may develop along a dysplasia-carcinoma sequence resulting from permanent mechanical insults, inflammation, and repair rather than from an adenoma-carcinoma sequence as in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). 相似文献

AIMS: To clarify a clinical entity of juvenile polyposis of the stomach compared with generalised juvenile gastrointestinal polyposis. METHODS: The clinicopathological features of juvenile polyposis dominantly involving the stomach at initial presentation were reviewed in 12 patients (three new patients and nine from the literature). These were compared with 29 cases of generalised juvenile gastrointestinal polyposis. RESULTS: There were three men and nine women with juvenile polyposis of the stomach, aged 10-63 years. Hypoproteinaemia was present in nine patients, anaemia in seven, and a family history of intestinal polyposis in seven. No patient presented with a congenital abnormality. During the observation period, two patients developed colonic juvenile polyps. Gastric polyps invariably affected the antrum and extended to the fundus, eventually becoming more numerous, larger, and more pedunculated. Ten patients required gastrectomy for associated malignancy or uncontrolled protein losing gastropathy. Histological examinations of the resected specimens demonstrated neoplastic tissue arising from juvenile polyps in four of the 12 patients. Atypism in these mixed polyps varied from adenoma to well or moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: Juvenile polyposis of the stomach has malignant potential, and may be a separate entity from generalised juvenile gastrointestinal polyposis. 相似文献

The minimal incidence rate of colorectal juvenile polyps in Jordanians was 1.4 per 100 000 in the general population and 2.8 per 100 000 in children under 10 years of age. Out of 144 cases, nine had two to seven polyps and one juvenile polyposis coli. There was male preponderance and a mean age of 8 years: 96.5% of the polyps were in the rectum. Characteristically, stromal oedema, inflammation, ulceration with granulation tissue cap formation and gland regeneration were present. Epithelial hyperplasia was not uncommon and focal dysplastic change was occasionally noted, being always accompanied by hyperplastic change. Focal severe dysplasia was seen in one solitary juvenile polyp. It is concluded that varying degrees of focal epithelial atypia can occasionally develop in solitary juvenile polyps, rarely reaching severe dysplastic change. Malignant transformation in the commonly seen form of juvenile polyp (solitary type) is probably a rare phenomenon, but its frequency needs further evaluation. 相似文献

Sixty operative specimens of the colon or its fragments removed for diffuse juvenile polyposis (the diagnosis was clinical) were evaluated morphologically. A structural study of the polyps ranging in size from the smallest to large lobular formations elicited a significant role of inflammation in polyp morphogenesis. Large polyps often show fragments of typical adenomatous structure. These adenomatous sites mark a higher risk of malignant transformation which develops in polyps of mixed structure in diffuse juvenile colon polyposis. Structurally, there are more reasons for referring juvenile polyps to adenomas than to hamartomas. 相似文献

Juvenile polyps are the most frequent gastrointestinal polyps with a malignant potential for which the genetic basis is unknown. Juvenile polyps, with a normal epithelium but hypertrophic lamina propria, are histologically quite distinct from adenomatous polyps which have dysplastic changes in epithelial nuclei. Furthermore, the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene on Chr 5, mutated somatically in adenomatous polyps and mutated in the germline of patients with familial adenomatous polyposis, is not linked to hereditary juvenile polyposis. We provide the first report indicating that a tumor suppressor gene associated with juvenile polyposis may be located at 10q22.3q24.1. Cytogenetic studies of a patient with juvenile polyposis and multiple congenital abnormalities of the head, extremities, and abdomen revealed a de novo interstitial deletion of Chr 10 as the only defect, del(10)(10q22.3q24.1).

Genetic analysis of an inherited predisposition to colon cancer in a family with a variable number of adenomatous polyps 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24

We studied a large kindred with a history of colorectal cancer of early onset. Proctosigmoidoscopic examination of 51 family members identified only 2 with familial polyposis coli, which strongly predisposes those who have it to colorectal cancer and which is defined as the presence of more than 100 polyps in the colon. However, eight family members had 2 to 40 colonic polyps. We suspected that in this family, colorectal cancer was the result of a mutation in the gene on chromosome 5 that is responsible for familial polyposis coli. To test our hypothesis, we obtained genotypic information on 81 family members with respect to seven polymorphic DNA markers previously shown to be linked to the locus for familial polyposis coli. Multilocus analysis of the data demonstrated genetic linkage (lod score, 5.58) between these markers and the locus responsible for the defined syndrome of colonic polyps or colorectal cancer in this kindred. These findings constitute evidence that the genetic defect in this family is a mutation in the gene that causes familial polyposis coli. We conclude that mutations at the genetic locus for familial polyposis coli may be the cause of other, more subtle syndromes involving an inherited susceptibility to colonic adenomatous polyps and colorectal cancer. 相似文献

Although the scientific and clinical rationale for classifying colorectal cancer according to mechanisms underlying genetic instability is well supported, little is known of the early morphogenesis of sporadic cancer showing high levels of DNA microsatellite instability (MSI-H). Evidence is accumulating that the traditional adenoma-carcinoma sequence may not apply to sporadic MSI-H colorectal cancer. The serrated pathway comprising hyperplastic polyps, mixed polyps and serrated adenomas may serve as the missing link. This review relates the recently described CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) to the serrated pathway. Two rate-limiting genetic steps may underlie the neoplastic pathway associated with CIMP. A transmembrane receptor expressed by pericryptal myofibroblasts (HPP1) may be implicated in the transition from normal to hyperplasia whereas inactivation of hMLH1 is responsible for the conversion of hyperplasia to dysplasia through loss of DNA mismatch repair. These mechanisms fit with clinical observations relating to sporadic MSI-H colorectal cancer, specifically proximal location, multiplicity, higher frequency among females and rapid evolution of early cancer. 相似文献

NTHL1-associated tumor syndrome (NATS) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by an increased risk for colorectal polyposis and colorectal cancer (CRC). Only 46 case reports have been previously published. In a retrospective review, we analyzed the clinical histories of six patients found to have NATS after genetic counseling and testing. NATS appears to be associated with an increased risk for colorectal polyposis, CRC, female breast cancer, meningiomas, and endometrial cancer. Although research is limited, prior publications have reported a multi-tumor predisposition for individuals with biallelic pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in NTHL1. Additional data are necessary to further define the cancer risks so affected individuals can be appropriately managed. 相似文献

Patients with hyperplastic polyposis have multiple hyperplastic polyps (HPs) and increased risk of colorectal carcinomas. Aberrant crypt foci (ACF) are postulated to be the earliest precursor lesions in colorectal carcinogenesis. We evaluated BRAF mutations by DNA sequencing in 53 ACF from patients with sporadic colorectal carcinomas and familial adenomatous polyposis, in 18 sporadic HPs from patients with resected colorectal cancer, and in 70 HPs, 4 serrated adenomas, 3 admixed hyperplastic-adenomatous polyps, 10 tubular adenomas, and 6 carcinomas from 17 patients with multiple/large HPs and/or hyperplastic polyposis. BRAF mutation status was compared with clinicopathological features and other genetic alterations by marginal logistic regression. BRAF mutation was present in only 2% of ACF and 6% of sporadic HPs. In contrast, BRAF mutation was present in 43% of HPs (P = 0.01 versus sporadic HPs), 75% of serrated adenomas, 33% of admixed hyperplastic-adenomatous polyps, 30% of tubular adenomas, and 33% of carcinomas from patients with multiple/large HPs and/or hyperplastic polyposis. BRAF mutation status in patients with multiple/large HPs and/or hyperplastic polyposis correlated with HPs from the same patient (odds ratio, 5.8; P = 0.0002) but associated with younger age (odds ratio, 0.83; P = 0.006 compared to older age), with a large HP (odds ratio, 22.5; P = 0.01 compared with patients with multiple HPs), with location of HPs in the right colon (odds ratio, 3.0; P = 0.03), and with methylation of the p16 gene and the MINT31 locus [odds ratio, 12.2 (P = 0.0001) and 4.4 (P = 0.02), respectively]. Our study shows that BRAF mutation status is heterogeneous among patients with multiple/large HPs and/or hyperplastic polyposis, suggesting differences in pathogenesis of HPs that indicate subsets within this phenotype. 相似文献

The association between rectosigmoid polyps and polyps in the more proximal colon is still a matter of debate, and the need for colonoscopy in patients with rectosigmoid polyps that are detected by flexible sigmoidoscopy is controversial. The aim of this study was to determine whether or not certain characteristics of rectosigmoid polyps are associated with the presence and characteristics of proximal colonic polyps. Seven hundred and twenty-eight patients who underwent total colonoscopy between October 1995 and June 1998 and who had colorectal polyps were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, familial adenomatous polyposis, or any advanced cancer were excluded. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of prevalence of proximal colonic polyps according to the patients age and sex, as well as the characteristics of rectosigmoid polyps, were calculated. Advanced adenoma was defined as an adenoma larger than 10 mm or an adenoma of any size with villous component, high-grade dysplasia or invasive carcinoma. Among 728 patients with colorectal polyps, 356 patients (48.9%) had polyps only in the rectosigmoid region, 193 patients (26.5%) had polyps only in the proximal colon, and 179 patients (24.6%) had polyps in both the rectosigmoid and proximal colon. In 535 patients with rectosigmoid polyps, the prevalence of proximal colonic polyps, neoplastic polyps and advanced adenomas were 33.4%, 27.3% and 2.9%, respectively. The prevalence of proximal colonic polyps in patients with rectosigmoid polyps was found to be significantly related to the male gender and elderly patients, in addition to the neoplastic histology of the rectosigmoid polyps. However, the prevalence of the proximal colonic polyps was not related to the size, number and shape of rectosigmoid polyps. In 179 patients with both rectosigmoid and proximal colonic polyps, the characteristics of proximal colonic polyps such as size, number and shape were similar to those of rectosigmoid polyps. We recommend total colonoscopic examination in all patients with rectosigmoid adenomas, regardless of the size, number, and shape, especially in elderly males. 相似文献
