Gardner syndrome is a rare autosomal-dominant condition characterized by the presence of intestinal polyposis, multiple osteomas, and tumors of the hard and soft tissues.

Imaging examinations have identified craniofacial manifestations and the patient was referred to the gastroenterologist who confirmed the diagnosis of Gardner syndrome.

It is considered the extraosseous counterpart of central odontogenic fibroma. This lesion usually is presented as a focal swelling in the gingiva, occurring in a wide age range, and the anterior region of the gingiva is the most frequent anatomic site.

The genesis of the heart pathology may be attributed to the carditis at the early fetal period. A possible source of the carditis could be a focus of chronic inflammation in the maternal internal genitalia.
