Familial adenomatous polyposis is a hereditary condition causing numerous polyps to develop in the colon and rectum. It carries a very high risk of colorectal cancer if untreated. An MRI may show changes in the colon and abdominal organs linked to this condition. Finding changes associated with familial adenomatous polyposis early allows for surgical planning and cancer prevention. Colonoscopy is the primary surveillance tool, however MRI contributes to abdominal assessment and desmoid tumour monitoring.
