Most of cutaneous hereditary diseases are associated with digestive symptoms but only four groups have a predominated digestive symptomatology: I. Hereditary disease with intestinal polyposis. II. Vascular dysplasias with intestinal haemorrhage. III. Connective tissue discover in hereditary diseases. IV. Acrodermatitis enteropathica with diarrhoea. Though very different with one another, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and Gardner's syndrome are transmitted according to autosomal dominant trait. Only bi- or unigenic origin is still controversed. Rendu-Osler's disease and blue rubber bled naevus also transmit according to autosomal dominant trait. Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is very likely transmitted according to autosomal recessivity. But the main forms of Ehlers-Danlos disease are autosomal dominant conditions, the other form being either autosomal recessive or sex-linked (type V). Acrodermatitis enteropathica is transmitted according to autosomal recessivity but the gene has a very variable penetrance so that the mutations are very common.

A case of Gardner syndrome associated with alterations of the skin and bones and precancerous gastrointestinal polyposis is presented. Particular interest attached to the extension of polyposis to the entire digestive tract, the early appearance of abdominal signs attributable to the polyposis, and - as new symptoms - polycystic lung and widespread superficial naevus lipomatosus.

We describe the unique presentation of a linear epidermal nevus with histologic features of Darier's disease occurring in a patient with Gardner's syndrome. Classification of localized forms of Darier's disease as an epidermal nevus or as a genetic mosaicism remains controversial. The association of this disorder with Gardner's syndrome has not been described in the literature before.

A 23-year-old man with a typical trichilemmal cyst nevus is reported. This recently described disorder is sufficiently characteristic to differentiate it from sebaceous nevus, nevus comedonicus, porokeratotic eccrine nevus, nevus corniculatus, follicular basaloid hamartoma, Munro's nevus and Gardner's syndrome.

The aim of this study is to report a clinical case of asymptomatic female Caucasian children with torpedo maculopathy. A 5-year-old girl was referred to our clinic for routine evaluation. The ophthalmic examination revealed best-corrected visual acuity of 20/20 in both eyes, without any changes in the biomicroscopy. Fundus examination showed normal findings in one eye, whereas in the contralateral eye it disclosed, in the temporal sector of the macular region, a whitish, atrophic, oval chorioretinal lesion with clearly defined margins. Posterior evaluations documented the stability of the lesion. Torpedo maculopathy diagnosis is based on its characteristic shape and peculiar location. The differential diagnosis has to be established versus choroidal lesions (melanoma and nevus), congenital or iatrogenic hyperplasia of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and particularly versus the congenital pigmented lesions associated with Gardner's syndrome.
