- Abstract:
- Gardner's syndrome is characterized by the presence of multiple polyps in the colon together with tumors outside the colon. First described by Dr. Eldon J. Gardner in 1951, the disease is hereditary. The most common symptoms include soft tissue tumors on the head and neck area, which are often first noticed by close family members. Surgery is usually necessary to prevent the development of cancer, as radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been ineffective in the past. Various x-rays and images of polyps and tumors are shown throughout the presentation.
