Gardner syndrome initially misdiagnosed as bilateral breast malignancy: a case report and literature review
This case underscores the critical role of multimodal imaging, histopathology, and MDT collaboration in clinical diagnosing GS with rare breast involvement. A systematic evaluation of extracolonic manifestations (e.g., adrenal adenomas) and the recognition of fibromatosis mimicking malignancy are essential for early diagnosis. Genetic evaluation and interdisciplinary management optimize the outcomes of complex hereditary syndromes.
