Abstract

JIMENEZ MESA, Graciela; LOPEZ BARBAN, María Aurora  and  HANO GARCIA, Olga. Valor de la ortopantomografía en la poliposis familiar de colon. Rev cubana med [online]. 1996, vol.35, n.1, pp. 24-29. ISSN 1561-302X.

Several families presenting with familial polyposis coli among our patients were studied by a panoramic study of the mandible in order to know whether they had osteomas. The material of this study consisted of 9 family members presenting with familial adenomatous polyposis, 3 with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, 2 with familial juvenile polyposis, and 28 with non-familial polypoid lesions. Osteomas were observed in 78 % of patients with familial polyposis, in 3.5 % of cases with non-familial polyposis, and in 7.2 % of the control group. Fisher's probability test yielded significant differences between cases with familial adenomatous polyposis and the control group, and cases with non-familial polyposis. One patient presenting with familial adenomatous polyposis had dental lesions (7.1 %). It is recommended to carry out a panoramic study of the mandible in all cases having familial polyposis and in all family members without polyps, as well as to study, by the gastroenterologist, those cases presenting with mandibular osteomas with the aim of making an early diagnosis of the disease.
