Total proctocolectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) syndrome.

Total proctocolectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) syndrome. Classic familial adenomatous polyposis, called FAP is a genetic condition. It is diagnosed when a person develops more than 100 adenomatous colon polyps. An adenomatous polyp is an area where normal cells that line the inside of a person’s colon form a mass on the inside of the intestinal tract. The average age for polyps to develop in people with FAP is in the mid-teens. Most people with FAP will have multiple colon polyps by age 35. If FAP is not recognized and treated, there is a very high likelihood that a person will develop colorectal cancer.
