Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a dominantly inherited disorder characterized by the presence of more than 100 adenomatous polyps in the colon and rectum starting in the second decade of life. FAP is associated with extra colonic manifestations, including desmoid tumors. METHODS: A 2-year-old girl presented with a rapidly enlarging tumor of the forehead and a family history of FAP. The tumor...
