A 36-year-old woman with a family history of hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HN- PCC) presents to her gastroenterologist for her annual examination. Because of a strong family history of colon cancer, she undergoes yearly colonoscopy. However, she has shown no signs and symptoms of HNPCC and has no significant past medical history. Other than colorectal carcinoma, what is another condition for which she is at increased risk given a family history of HNPCC?
(A) Carcinoma of the endometrium
(B) Cholelithiasis causing cholecystitis
(C) Melanin spots of the buccal mucosa
(D) Pseudopolyps of the small or large bowel
(E) Vitamin B12 deficiency due to malabsorption
