Clin Case Rep. 2024 Apr 3;12(4):e8735. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8735. eCollection 2024 Apr.

Abstract

Gardner's syndrome with the complete manifestation of colonic and extracolonic features is uncommon. Therefore, every clinician should view extracolonic features with a high index of suspicion. This may be key to early diagnosis, definitive management in these patients and importantly, helps prevent malignant transformation of existing colonic polyps.

Keywords: Gardner syndrome; impacted teeth; intestinal polyposis; jaw swelling; osteoma.
