  • All affected individuals develop colon cancer without prophylactic colectomy.
  • Characteristic features include colon polyposis, osteomas, and epidermoid cysts.
  • Management requires a coordinated team of specialists.

Conclusions:

  • Prophylactic colectomy is essential for preventing colon cancer in Gardner's syndrome.
  • Multidisciplinary care involving various medical and surgical specialties is vital.
  • Genetic and psychological counseling are important components of patient management.
