Mandibular osteomas in colorectal adenomas.
Orthopantomography of the mandible was carried out on 50 patients with colorectal adenoma(s) without carcinoma or any known familial disposition. Four patients (8%) had osteomas, and we advance the hypothesis that individuals with both osteomas and adenomas represent a separate type of adenoma patient. Further studies are needed to evaluate the prognostic value of the association of adenomas and mandibular osteomas.
