Hypotonic duodenography, duodenofiberscopy, and endoscopic biopsy of the duodenum were performed in 14 patients with familial polyposis of the colon. In 13 of the 14 patients, a roentgenographic or endoscopic study revealed adenomas of various size in the duodenum. In the remaining 1 patient, a biopsy specimen which was taken accidentally from the papillary region showed adenoma, although neither duodenography nor endoscopy revealed any abnormality. Adenomas in most cases were multiple and relatively small in size (less than 5 mm in diameter), and sited in the second portion of the duodenum, whereas a solitary and large adenoma was found in rare cases. There have been reported in the literature only 29 patients with familial polyposis of the colon who had concomitant cancers or adenomas of the duodenum. However, the present study strongly suggests that the incidence of duodenal lesions might be higher than that previously considered. In many cases, these lesions must have been overlooked, because the conventional technique of duodenography was not sufficient to detect such small adenomas. A high incidence of adenomatous lesions of the stomach or the duodenum and complications of benign or malignant tumors of various organs in familial polyposis of the colon may suggest that this disease is a systemic or generalized disorder rather than the disease of the colon per se, despite the etiology being still uncertain. Therefore, the term “familial adenomatosis coli syndrome” seems to be more appropriate than “familial polyposis of the colon.”
