Abstract
Abstract Rationale: This case report highlights the essential role of dental and medical professionals in the early diagnosis of Gardner’s syndrome (GS). Patient Concerns: A 21-year-old patient presented with painless, progressively enlarging swelling on both sides of the face, which had developed over the past few years. Diagnosis: Imaging, including a panoramic image and multislice computed tomography (CT) scan, revealed multiple osteomas. The patient was referred to gastroenterology, where endoscopy and colonoscopy identified multiple adenomatous polyps. Interventions: The patient subsequently underwent facial aesthetic corrections. Outcomes: The patient is currently undergoing regular gastrointestinal monitoring and managing colon polyps, with follow-up appointments scheduled annually. Take-away Lessons: To improve the prognosis, this report emphasises the vital role of dental and medical professionals in the early detection of GS, advocating for a multidisciplinary preventive approach.
