Postpolypectomy coagulation syndrome (Postpolypectomy syndrome or PPCS) is a condition that occurs following colonoscopy with electrocautery polypectomy, which results in a burn injury to the wall of the gastrointestinal tract. The condition results in abdominal pain, fever, elevated white blood cell count and elevated serum C-reactive protein.
Gardner's syndrome (also known as Gardner syndrome, familial polyposis of the colon, [1] or familial colorectal polyposis [2]) is a subtype of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Gardner syndrome is an autosomal dominant form of polyposis characterized by the presence of multiple polyps in the colon together with tumors outside the colon. [ 3 ]

In medicine, not otherwise specified (NOS) is a subcategory in systems of disease/disorder classification such as ICD-9, ICD-10, or DSM-IV.It is generally used to note the presence of an illness where the symptoms presented were sufficient to make a general diagnosis, but where a specific diagnosis was not made.
Serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS), previously known as hyperplastic polyposis syndrome, is a disorder characterized by the appearance of serrated polyps in the colon. While serrated polyposis syndrome does not cause symptoms, the condition is associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). The lifelong risk of CRC is between 25 and 40%.
This provocative study demonstrates that biological age, which can be evaluated by a blood test, is associated with a higher incidence of precancerous colon polyps.” — Anton Bilchik, MD, PhD ...
In a study of 120 individuals 37% (N=44) had <10 polyps; 3 of these 44 had colorectal cancer. [14] Gastric fundic polyps and duodenal adenomas are also seen. Therefore, polyps and cancers may manifest in the upper portion of the colon or upper gastrointestinal tract rather than the usual locations.? Typical core diagnostic criteria
The syndrome was first described in 1863 by Virchow on a 15-year-old boy with multiple polyps in his colon. [9] The syndrome involves development of multiple polyps at an early age and those left untreated will all eventually develop cancer. [9] The gene is expressed 100% in those with the mutation and it is autosomal dominant.
