  • Title: Villous adenomas and carcinoma of the duodenum in Gardner's syndrome.
    Author: Sinha J, Williamson RC.
    Journal: Postgrad Med J; 1988 Nov; 64(757):899-902. PubMed ID: 3076670.
    Abstract:
    Patients with Gardner's syndrome are increasingly found to have polyps on routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and their risk of developing periampullary carcinoma is between 3-12%. We report a 45 year old man with Gardner's syndrome who presented with periampullary carcinoma 5 years after colectomy. Review of the literature amassed another 21 cases of periampullary carcinoma in patients with Gardner's syndrome.
