From Gardner fibroma diagnosis to constitutional APC mutation detection: a one-way street

Clin Case Rep. 2017 Aug 10;5(10):1557-1560. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1065. eCollection 2017 Oct.

Abstract

We report a young child without a family history of FAP, who promptly underwent APC testing after the histological confirmation of a paraspinal GAF that was not isolated. Our case report reinforces the suggestion advanced by previous authors for an APC analysis in all patients with GAF.

Keywords: APC; Gardner fibroma; familial adenomatous polyposis.
