We describe a female toddler with rectal bleeding from extensive colonic polyposis, and diagnosed with familial adenomatous polyposis. She has epilepsy from infancy attributed to focal cortical dysplasia. Hepatoblastoma was diagnosed at 13 months of age. Germline testing detected a pathogenic APC (adenomatous polyposis coli gene) variant. We discuss the anecdotal management of this case, including the clinical utility of genetic confirmation. We review the genotype-phenotype correlation of the APC mutational spectrum, and the existing evidence supporting the hypothesis that cortical dysplasia is part of the APC-related spectrum.
