Definition

Hereditary mixed polyposis syndrome-2 (HMPS2) is characterized by colonic polyps of mixed hyperplastic, adenomatous, and occasional juvenile types.

Clinical features

From HPO
Colon cancer
MedGen UID:
2839
Concept ID:
C0007102
Neoplastic Process
A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm that affects the colon. Representative examples include carcinoma, lymphoma, and sarcoma.
Adenomatous colonic polyposis
MedGen UID:
358118
Concept ID:
C1868071
Finding
Presence of multiple adenomatous polyps in the colon.
Juvenile colonic polyposis
MedGen UID:
868607
Concept ID:
C4023006
Disease or Syndrome
The presence of more than 5 juvenile polyps of the colon. The term juvenile polyps refer to a special histopathology and not the age of onset as the polyp might be diagnosed at all ages. The juvenile polyp has a spherical appearance and is microscopically characterized by overgrowth of an oedematous lamina propria with inflammatory cells and cystic glands.
Hyperplastic colonic polyposis
MedGen UID:
868611
Concept ID:
