Recently, Gardner's syndrome was included in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), which is known to cause substantial numbers of adenomas based on genetic research. A 22-year-old man had facial injury and was referred to our department for investigation of facial trauma. On the computed tomography, osteomas were seen in the head and jaw. Furthermore, his past history (odontoma, impacted tooth, and epidermal cyst) and family history suggested FAP. We consulted the Department of Gastrointestinal Medicine for examination, and he was given a diagnosis of FAP. Proctocolectomy and ileoanal canal anastomosis were performed, and the postoperative progress has been favorable.
