[Gardner's syndrome. Review of the literature. Report of a familial form].

Through a family form study and a literature review, the authors define the symptoms of the Gardner's disease and the checkup to be carried out. Sometimes, the surgical treatment, proposed in an aesthetical purpose, is difficult to carry out due to the tumor location and consistency. Incomplete forms are likely to be more frequent but the risk of colic degeneration remains the same as for the usual form. Examination and multi-departmental care are required.
