Abstract

The Gardner syndrome is characterized by polyposis coli and multiple hard and soft tissue tumors. This work show crucial dentist's role in the early diagnosis important for the highly malignant potential of this syndrome.

Benign osteoma with Gardner syndrome: review of the literature and report of a case.

Gardner syndrome, a variant of familial adenomatous polyposis, is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by gastrointestinal polyps that develop in the colon as well as in the stomach and upper intestine (duodenum), multiple osteomas, and skin and soft tissue tumors. Cutaneous findings include epidermoid cysts, desmoid tumors, and other benign tumors. Polyps have a 100% risk of undergoing malignant transformation; consequently, early identification and therapy of the disease are critical. Osteoma is a benign neoplasm of bone tissue that is characterized by slow continuous growth and is the most common accompanying bone lesion seen in Gardner syndrome. The authors report a case of Gardner syndrome that was operated on because of the mandibular osteoma.

Primary cutaneous T-cell-rich B-cell lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease in a patient with Gardner's syndrome.

A 50-year-old patient, suffering from familial polyposis (Gardner's syndrome), initially presented with several nodules on his left arm. Histological examination revealed primary cutaneous T-cell-rich B-cell lymphoma (TCRBCL). Staging procedures failed to detect any systemic involvement. Three years after total excision of the tumours, the patient presented with a non-specific dermatitis, enlarged axillary lymph nodes and splenomegaly. Histological and immunohistochemical examination of lymph node and spleen biopsy specimens resulted in the diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease (HD) of the nodular sclerosis type. Sequence analysis of single cells micromanipulated from skin and from lymph node lesions indicated that both lymphoma infiltrates were derived from the same precursor germinal centre B-cell clone. This is a case showing a clonal relationship between TCRBCL and HD, providing support to the B-cell origin of Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells.
