Abstract
A 34-year-old woman is referred after a colonoscopy that revealed >100 polyps throughout her colon and rectum (). A random selection of 3 polyps is biopsied and reported as adenomas. She is adopted and is unaware of her biological family. She is found to have a deleterious germline variant in APC (c.1967-1974del). She works as a nurse and is married with 4 children (age: 17, 13, 11, and 6 years). She has had no prior abdominal operations.
