Seven patients with Gardner's syndrome—familial polyposis, desmoid tumors, and extracolonic manifestations—underwent gallium 67 ( 67 Ga) scintigraphy. Gallium 67 was taken up by all desmoid tumors and skull osteomas. Three patients were considered clinically disease‐free and scintigraphy was normal. Gallium 67 scintigraphy may be a useful adjunct in the evaluation of patients with Gardner's syndrome.
