Résumé
Juvenile polyposis syndrome lies within the family of hamartomatous polyposis syndromes characterized by polyps that appear benign but harbor an increased risk of colorectal and gastric cancer. This 27-year-old man with severe ulcerative colitis was discovered to have concomitant juvenile polyposis syndrome during diagnostic workup for gastrointestinal bleeding. The implications of this rare association complicate both diagnostic and treatment modalities since both diseases confer an increased risk of cancer.
