ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Cases of familial polyposis coli and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are reported for the first time in Ethiopia. One case seemed to have the defect as a new mutation in his gene while the other possibly inherited from his father. The one with polyposis coli had transmitted the disease to his offspring. This patient had total colectomy for prophylaxis against a potential carcinoma of the colon.
