title: [Hypertrophy of the pigment epithelium in familial intestinal polyposis].
abstract: Recently a few cases of pigment epithelium hypertrophy associated with Gardner's syndrome and familial polyposis have been described. The authors report the results of an ophthalmoscopic investigation on patients affected by Gardner's syndrome and familial polyposis. The importance of the ophthalmoscopic finding associated with this type of intestinal pathology is discussed.
