Polyposis (Polyposis)

Polyposis is a condition in which multiple polyps form on the wall of an organ or tissue. Polyps are small bumps that can have different sizes and shapes. They can form in various parts of the body, including the colon, stomach, chest, nasal passages and other organs.

One of the most common types of polyposis is familial intestinal polyposis (familial polyposis coli), which is a hereditary disease characterized by the formation of multiple polyps in the colon during puberty. These polyps may be precancerous changes and may significantly increase the risk of developing colon cancer. Therefore, most patients suffering from familial intestinal polyposis must undergo surgical removal of the colon.

In addition, polyposis can be caused by other factors, such as inflammation or infection. For example, pseudopolyposis is a condition in which inflammation in the colon leads to the formation of multiple polyps. This type of polyposis usually develops in people with chronic inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a rare inherited syndrome that is characterized by the formation of polyps in the stomach and intestines, as well as in other organs. These polyps can be malignant and can lead to cancer. Treatment includes surgical removal of polyps and regular monitoring of the patient's condition.

Overall, polyposis is a serious condition that can increase your risk of developing cancer. Therefore, it is important to get tested regularly and consult with your doctor if you are at risk of developing this disease. Early detection and treatment of polyposis can save lives and improve the prognosis of the disease.

A condition in which multiple formations form. *Polinada Bairstead* (trainee).

It is characterized by **hereditary nature**. And there is a serious explanation for this: it is synonymous with a diverse pathological change, namely **fibrous polyposis**.

**Diffuse colorectal polyposis.** It is characterized by multiple solitary or diffuse lesions of the colon - pseudopolyp. The main manifestation is slow growth over many years with periods of healing and relapse of inflammatory damage to the intestinal mucosa until its complete transformation

Polyposis is a condition characterized by the formation of many polyps on the walls of organs or tissues. It can be hereditary or develop from various diseases. In this post, we'll look at familial intestinal polyposis, also known as familial adenomatous polyposis coli or FAP.

What is a hereditary intestinal polyp?

Familial adenomatous polyposis is a type of familial polyposis characterized by the presence of multiple polyps along the entire length of the colon. This pathology is associated with the presence of a mutation in the APC gene.

If there were no previously diagnosed cases of adenomas in the family, then the person may inherit
