Abstract

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is characterized by colorectal polyposis and extracolonic tumors. Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas and hepatocellular carcinoma are rare in FAP. In this case series, we describe a mother and daughter with FAP who developed a hepatocellular carcinoma and solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas, respectively.

Keywords: Familial adenomatosous polyposis; Hepatocellular carcinoma; Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas.
