This case details the development of a rapidly growing polypoid mass in the proximal stomach in a patient with known attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis. Surgical resection was required and histology showed hyperplasia with extensive areas of dysplastic adenomatous change. This case illustrates that patients with the attenuated form of familial adenomatous polyposis are at risk for multiple neoplasia distinct from those patients with the classic form of familial adenomatous polyposis.

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease characterized by the progressive development of multiple adenomatous polyps along the colon. The majority of individuals develop colorectal cancer by the age of 40 within the evolutionary course of the disease. For this reason, screening family members is essential to enable identification, surveillance, and appropriate intervention.

Carcinogenesis encompasses processes that lead to increased mutation rates, enhanced cellular division (tumour growth), and invasive growth. Colorectal cancer (CRC) carcinogenesis in carriers of pathogenic APC (path_APC) and pathogenic mismatch repair gene (path_MMR) variants is initiated by a second hit affecting the corresponding wild-type allele. In path_APC carriers, second hits result in the development of multiple adenomas, with CRC typically emerging after an additional 20 years.
