The Gardner syndrome.

Abstract

The Gardner syndrome is characterized by polyposis coli and multiple hard and soft tissue tumors. A case of a 17-year-old male is presented who complained of painless and hard swellings on the angle of the mandible bilateraly. The patient presented the original triad of lesions of the Gardner syndrome. On the panoramic X-ray, characteristic radio-opaque lesions (exostoses and enostoses) on the jaws were shown and a compound odontoma was detected in the left side of the mandible.
