Abstract
A 25-year-old twin male patients have had polyposis coli over 100 polyps in the total colon. His elder brother died with multiple metastases from descending colon cancer. Therefore, he received a laparoscopic assisted total colectomy with ileoanostomy. Histopathological examination showed that all polyps except one were tubular adenomas. However, one of them showed intramucosal cancer with adenoma. They have no family history of polyposis coli or colorectal cancer. Reports about the polyposis coli in twins are very rare in Japan.
