Abstract

Gardner's syndrome is a disease characterized by the triad of polyposis coli, osteoma, and a soft tissue tumor. However, Fader et al. added supernumerary teeth and impacted teeth as the fourth symptom in 1962.We describe a case of complete Gardner's syndrome. The patient was a 23-year-old woman with a soft tissue tumor in the occipital region, the right upper eyelid region, and the epidermis of the back. In the oral cavity, latter stage deciduous teeth and loss of permanent teeth were evident. X-ray findings revealed a ground glass appearance in the maxilla and mandible as well as multiple odontoma, impacted teeth, and osteoma in the frontal ethmoid sinus, the occipital region, and both femur bones.In addition, the patient's mother had a history of Gardner's syndrome. Gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed multiple polyps in the stomach, colon, and rectum.Based on the above findings, the patient was given a diagnosis of complete Gardner's syndrome.
