[Gardner's syndrome. three patients with varying manifestations (author's transl)]

Fully developed Gardner's syndrome is characterised by the triad of intestinal polyposis, osteomas and multiple soft tissue tumours. Absence of any one of these manifestations results in a bisymptomatic form. We describe three patients, one woman and two men aged 40, 46 and 51 years. In two patients the triad was fully expressed, but with varying organ involvement. The third patient was of the bisymptomatic type with osseous and intestinal lesions.
