[Familial adenomatous polyposis or Gardner syndrome--review of the literature and presentation of 2 clinical cases].

Gardner syndrome is a type of hereditary gastrointestinal polyposis. Dental professionals should be aware that this syndrome can present as multiple impacted teeth and sometimes as large osteomas in the head and neck area. Following a brief review of literature, we present two cases of Gardner syndrome. One of these cases was diagnosed after a dental examination. The high incidence of malignant transformation of polyps into colorectal cancer indicates the importance of early diagnosis and follow-up.

Although benign migratory glossitis, commonly called "geographic tongue," is frequently observed, we still have not been able to determine its etiology. While the condition is usually asymptomatic, the spectacular appearance of the lesion frequently causes the patient considerable worry. Based on a review of the literature, different theories on the lesion's etiology as well as therapeutic modalities will be discussed.
