Gardner syndrome


Familial adenomatous polyposis syndrome (FAP) variant.

Triad

  1. Multiple osteomas (Mandible > Skull vault > Sinuses).
  2. Colonic polyposis (Premalignant).
  3. Soft tissue tumours (Desmoid tumours, Epidermoid cysts).

Exam pearl: Osteomas often precede the colonic polyps. Finding multiple osteomas in a young patient warrants a GI referral.
