Abstract
Background: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant syndrome that results from a germline mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli gene. It is characterized by the early development of hundreds of adenomas in the colon during the second decade of life. If prophylactic colectomy is not performed, most patients eventually develop colorectal cancer (CRC).
Case summary: We present the mutational profile of a case of FAP that progressed to CRC. A 45-year-old Saudi man presented with intestinal obstruction and underwent a total colectomy. The colon showed hundreds of polyps and two infiltrative ulcerative lesions, which proved to be adenocarcinoma according to histopathology. We performed next-generation sequencing and found mutations in the TP53, NRAS, EGFR PDGFR, MET, KIT, ERBB2, and GUSP genes.
Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this case report is the first to sheds the light on the mutation profile of FAP that progressed to CRC in Saudi Arabia.
期刊介绍:
The WJCO is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJCO is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of oncology. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJCO is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJCO are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in oncology. Scope: Art of Oncology, Biology of Neoplasia, Breast Cancer, Cancer Prevention and Control, Cancer-Related Complications, Diagnosis in Oncology, Gastrointestinal Cancer, Genetic Testing For Cancer, Gynecologic Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, Hematologic Malignancy, Lung Cancer, Melanoma, Molecular Oncology, Neurooncology, Palliative and Supportive Care, Pediatric Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Translational Oncology, and Urologic Oncology.
