In case of rapid polyp growth or severe dysplasia, the place of surgical resection is controversial. We report 2 patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who underwent radical pancreatico duodenectomy several years after the treatment of colonic polyposis. The first patient had a pancreaticoduodenal resection performed for a duodenal adenocarcinoma. The second patient had a pancreaticoduodenal resection with pylorus preservation and pancreatogastric anastomosis performed for recurrent duodenal adenomas with severe dysplasia. Both remained alive without recurrence and with a good functional outcome 24 and 28 months after operation. We conclude that radical prophylactic surgery may be indicated for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who have severe duodenal polyposis.
