ABSTRACT
Multicentric thyroid papillary carcinomas were present in two sisters with familial polyposis of the colon; in one the tumor was found at age 29 and in the other at 26 years of age, respectively 13 and 5 years after colectomy. This association is not fortuitous and should lead to regular examination of thyroid gland in patients with familial polyposis or in Gardner's syndrome patients. It might even be wise to search for adenomas of the colon in young patients with thyroid carcinoma.
