Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: multiple hamartoma syndrome, Cowden syndrome PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) hamartoma tumor syndrome Background: Cowden disease (CD), also termed Cowden syndrome and multiple hamartoma syndrome, is an autosomal dominant condition with variable expression that results most commonly (80%) from a mutation in the PTEN gene on arm 10q, as reported by Liaw et al. A broader category, "PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) hamartoma tumor syndrome," has been suggested as a name to combine multiple phenotypic presentations all due to PTEN genetic diseases. Rare cases of CD are due to a germline mutation in (bone morphogenetic proteins). CD causes hamartomatous neoplasms of the skin and mucosa, GI tract, bones, CNS, eyes, and genitourinary tract. Skin is involved in 90-100% of cases, and the thyroid is involved in 66% of cases. Mucocutaneous features of CD include trichilemmomas, oral mucosal papillomatosis, acral keratoses, and palmoplantar keratoses. CD is associated with the development of several types of malignancy, which is why recognition of individuals with the syndrome is important. In particular, a marked increase is seen in the incidence of breast carcinoma in women and of thyroid carcinoma in both men and women. Reports also exist of several other types of malignancies occurring in patients with CD.

They can be solitary or may be multiple as part of the Cowden disease. Radiographically they have a variable appearance on the barium study of the oesophagus. The solitary form presents as a nonspecific intraluminal pedunculated and smoothly lined filling defect. In patients with multiple hamartoma syndrome they present as numerous very small sessile lesions causing a small sharply demarcated filling defect on double contrast barium study of the oesophagus.
