“…6) they may be the hallmark of Gardner syndrome (GS), a cancer‐prone syndrome associating (benign) cutaneous tumours and visceral carcinomas. This syndrome was described by Gardner in 1953 38 as the association of gastrointestinal polyposis, mandible and skull osteomas and (sub)cutaneous tumours; it is nowadays considered a phenotypic variant of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), rather than a truly distinct subtype of the disease, 39–41 and accounts for about 20–40% of patients with FAP 1,42 …”

“…3 The malignant potential of non-treated patients requires prophylactic colectomy and familiar screening to minimize cancer risk. 4 Main surgical options are represented either by colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) or restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (RPC). Indications of proctocolectomy and ileostomy (PCI) are reserved for patients with advanced low rectal cancer, sphincter dysfunction, or impossibility to perform RPC (mesenteric desmoid).…”

“…Em aproximadamente 20% dos casos, a doença pode ser decorrente de mutações genéticas. O tratamento consiste em remoção das manifestações clínicas apresentadas pela síndrome, como remoção dos osteomas e remoção total do intestino preventivamente 6 . A síndrome de Cowden é uma enfermidade autossômica dominante, sendo que a mutação ocorre no gene PTEN (fosfatase e tensina homólo-gas deletadas no cromossomo 10) 7 .…”
