A panoramic radiograph shows multiple odontomas. Combined with osteomas and intestinal (colonic) polyps, this points to:

  1. Gardner syndrome
  2. Gorlin (nevoid basal cell carcinoma) syndrome
  3. Peutz-Jeghers syndrome
  4. Cowden syndrome
Show answer and explanation

  • B. Gorlin features multiple OKCs and basal cell carcinomas.
  • C. Peutz-Jeghers shows perioral pigmentation and hamartomatous polyps, not odontomas.
  • D. Cowden shows oral papillomatosis and hamartomas, not odontomas.
