Gardner's syndrome. Case report and discussion of the manifestations of the disorder.
Extracolonic manifestations of Gardner's syndrome are common and may precede the detection of colonic polyps. Tc-MDP bone scintigraphy performed on a patient with Gardner's syndrome demonstrated intense uptake of radiotracer within the maxilla and mandible as a result of the dental anomalies associated with this disorder. Nuclear scintigraphy has a role in the imaging of these patients for skeletal anomalies, the detection of thyroid carcinoma, and for skeletal metastases when colon carcinoma is detected.
