Abnormalities of jaw bones and teeth were evaluated in 37 patients with familial adenomatosis coli (FAC) by means of orthopantomography. Osteomatous radiopaque lesions were evident in 75.7 percent of FAC patients (focal type: 62.2% and wide spread type: 13.5%), odontomes in 29.7% peripheral osteomas in 13.5%, unerupted teeth in 16.2% and supernumerary unerupted teeth in 16.2%. Five of the 37 FAC patients had an unusual widespread type of radiopacity with other abnormalities. Combined abnormalities were most frequent in patients with this type in comparison with patients with the focal type. Osteomas and peripheral osteomas were revealed in this type with statistical significance. Biopsy performed in one patient revealed an osteoma. These results suggest that the multiple abnormalities seen in oral X-ray examination may predict the occult existence of familial adenomatosis coli and these widespread radiopaque lesions probably represent the most extensive manifestation of FAC.
