Gardner's syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with a nearly 100% cancer risk in adults. Early recognition of extracolonic symptoms is crucial for managing intestinal polyposis and preventing malignancies.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Gardner's syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited cancer predisposition syndrome.
  • Characterized by intestinal polyposis, osteomas (especially cranial), and soft tissue tumors (epidermal cysts, desmoid tumors).
  • Distinguished by a later age of onset compared to other polyposis syndromes.

Observation:

  • Extracolonic signs, including osteomas and soft tissue tumors, often precede intestinal polyposis.
  • A notable feature is the late age of onset compared to other polyposis syndromes.

Findings:

  • The syndrome confers a near 100% lifetime risk of malignancy.
  • Colectomy is a necessary intervention for affected individuals.

Implications:
