This case graphically illustrates the dental clinician's role in the diagnosis of Gardner's syndrome. Findings in the head and neck in this case led to discovery of the disease. Because of the high incidence of malignant transformation, surgery of the lower intestinal tract is done to remove any polypoid lesions. Normal-appearing tissue from which carcinoma might arise is also removed. Because of the usual occurrence of head and neck lesions in Gardner's syndrome, the clinician can make a major contribution in the diagnosis of this uncommon, but important, disease.
该病例生动地说明了牙科临床医生在诊断加德纳综合征中的作用。该病例的头颈部检查结果促成了疾病的发现。由于恶性转化的发生率较高，需对下肠道进行手术以切除任何息肉样病变。可能发生癌变的外观正常的组织也需切除。鉴于加德纳综合征中头颈部病变较为常见，临床医生在诊断这种罕见但重要的疾病方面可发挥重大作用。
