Gardner syndrome (GS) is a rare genetic disorder. Dentists play an important role in diagnosis considering that craniomaxillofacial osteomas are a major criteria for GS. We report a 26-year-old male patient who referred to our department with toothache. On routine panoramic radiographic examination, multiple radiopaque masses were detected incidentally. In addition, on extraoral examination, a soft tissue tumor was detected on his shoulder. The patient was referred to the gastroenterology department and intestinal polyps were detected in the colon. Histopathology report revealed malignant changes in the intestinal polyps. Early colectomy, which is a life-saving operation, was possible because of our early diagnosis.
加德纳综合征（GS）是一种罕见的遗传性疾病。鉴于颅颌面骨瘤是GS的主要诊断标准，牙医在诊断中发挥着重要作用。我们报告一名26岁男性患者，因牙痛前来我院就诊。在常规全景X线检查中，偶然发现多个不透光肿物。此外，在口腔外检查中，在其肩部发现一个软组织肿瘤。该患者被转诊至胃肠病科，在结肠中检测到肠息肉。组织病理学报告显示肠息肉有恶变。由于我们的早期诊断，早期结肠切除术这一挽救生命的手术得以实施。
