Abstract: | Two patients with polypoid bile duct tumors associated with familial adenomatosis coli are presented. A jaundiced man, aged 63, had polypoid masses identified as adenocarcinoma in the common and hepatic ducts. The other patient, a 38-year-old woman undergoing surgery for duodenal adenomas, had a solitary benign adenoma of the distal common duct in addition to duodenal adenocarcinoma. Only one earlier report of bile duct polyps could be found in association with familial adenomatosis. These cases support the view that familial gastrointestinal adenomatosis is a systemic disease which is not restricted to the colon and rectum. |
