Abstract

A case of familial adenomatous polyposis is reported in a 39 year old patient who underwent a Whipple's resection for adenoma of the duodenum. He subsequently developed a pancreatic glucagonoma. Endocrine neoplasia other than papillary carcinoma of thyroid has seldom been reported in association with FAP. The true incidence of islet cell tumours in FAP may be underestimated.
