Gardner syndrome is an autosomal dominant phenotypic variant of familial adenomatous polyposis. Gardner’s initial description in 1951 highlighted the presence of adenomatous polyps in the colon, along with extracolonic tumors, emphasizing their high malignancy potential. Extracolonic manifestations may include intestinal polyposis, desmoids, osteomas, and epidermoid cysts. Various noncutaneous manifestations also exist with this syndrome. A characteristic finding is bilateral, multiple, pigmented, ocular fundus lesions, known as congenital hypertrophy of the retinal epithelium. The development of intestinal polyposis and colorectal adenocarcinoma are critical features of Gardner syndrome. This activity describes the pathophysiology of Gardner syndrome and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the management of patients with this condition.
