Abstract

Cribriform-morular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma (CMV-PTC) is a rare cancer that may arise in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene mutation is associated with FAP, which is known as a premalignant lesion of colon cancer. In this report, we report a 16 years old patient of CMV-PTC comorbid with FAP, which was related with a new type of APC gene mutation.
