Abstract

Here we identify a previously unreported cause of rectal bleeding (juvenile polyposis) in a patient with cystic fibrosis (CF). We believe this patient most likely has two coexisting genetic diseases. It also raises many issues about organ transplantation in a patient with medical conditions that individually increase the risk of gastrointestinal malignancy and stresses the diagnostic value of endoscopy in CF patients with rectal bleeding.
