Cowden syndrome, also known as Cowden disease, is constellation of findings due to a PTEN gene mutation.
Molecular
Notes:
- Several syndromes are associated with PTEN mutations:[1][3]
- Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS).[4]
- Proteus-like syndrome.[5]
- Lhermitte-Duclos disease (dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum).[5]
Trivia
- The PTEN gene is located on chromosome ten.
Clinical
Features:[6]
- Hamartomatous polyps.
- Facial trichilemmomas - hair follicle root sheath epithelium tumour.
- Oral papillomas.
- Acral keratoses (peripheral keratoses).
- Storiform collagenoma.[7]
Lame mnemonic PATH:[8]
- Papilloma (oral).
- Acral keratosis.
- Trichilemmoma.
- Hamartomatous polyps.
Cancer
Strong association with cancer:[9]
- ~90% lifetime risk for cancer.
- Specific types of cancer (lifetime risk) - numbers rounded:
- ~80% breast cancer (in females).
- ~20% thyroid cancer.
- Predominantly papillary thyroid carcinoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma - in that order.[3]
- ~20% endometrial cancer.
- ~15% renal cancer.
- ~15% colorectal cancer.
Microscopic
Features:
- Hamartomatous polyp - features non-specific. (???)
