Extractions: Cutaneous Markers of Internal Malignancy http://www.medicad.com I. Direct tumour spread: The skin is a relatively uncommon site for metastatic deposits compared to organs such as liver, lung and bone. The most common sources of cutaneous metastases are lung, breast and colon. Renal and thyroid skin deposits may be vascular and are occasionally misdiagnosed as benign haemangiomas. Direct invasion of the skin: The most frequent cause is carcinoma of the breast either as skin ulceration, Paget's disease, carcinoma erysipeloides, or carcinoma en cuirasse. Squamous-cell carcinoma of the oral cavity also may ulcerate onto the face. Paget's disease of the breast is an epidermal manifestation of an underlying ductal adenocarcinoma. Extramammary Paget's, e.g. in anogenital area may be a marker of underlying neoplasia such as adenocarcinoma of the rectum. Specific cutaneous infiltrations may occur with lymphoma and leukaemia II.

Meniconi Introduction 22-years old woman with recently diagnosed with Cowden Syndrome, was referred for recommendations regarding her glaucoma and uveitis treatment. Case presentation A caucasian female, age 22, was referred for recommendations for treatment of uveitic glaucoma in her remaining right eye. Her past ocular history was significant for bilateral uveitis at age 4, complicated by retinal detachment OS and OS phthisis. Her right eye needed surgical excision of a vitreo-retinal traction band. After a period of stability, retinal detachment developed in the right eye and was successfully treated with pars plana vitrectomy and scleral buckling at age 13 years. Secondary cataract developed, requiring cataract extraction. Best-corrected vision at age 14 was 20/40. The intraocular pressure was normal until age 17. Glaucoma then developed, and the pressure was around 29 mmHg, despite therapy with dorzolamide, timolol, brimodine and latanaprost. The review of system was significant for status post pneumonia at age 16 and status post thyroidectomy two years earlier and recent diagnosis of Cowden Syndrome.

Search Cowden syndrome On this page: Cowden syndrome is an inherited disorder characterized by multiple tumor-like growths (called hamartomas) and an increased risk of certain cancers. Almost everyone with this condition has hamartomas. These small, noncancerous growths are most commonly found on the skin and mucous membranes (such as the lining of the mouth and nose), but can also occur in the intestinal tract and other parts of the body. People with Cowden syndrome have an increased risk of developing several types of cancer, including cancers of the breast, thyroid, and uterus. Noncancerous breast and thyroid diseases are also common. Other signs and symptoms of Cowden syndrome can include an enlarged head; a rare, noncancerous brain tumor called Lhermitte-Duclos disease; and mental retardation. How common is Cowden syndrome?

Syndromes In Breast Cancer It is also called as multiple hamartoma syndrome. PTEN is a tumour suppressorgene located on 10q23 chromosome. The gene product of PTEN is a phosphatase http://www.au-kbc.org/research_areas/bio/projects/bcinfo/gen/synd.html
Extractions: The incidence of syndrome associated with breast cancer is very low (less than 1%). The various syndromes associated with breast cancer are: A large number of sporadic cancers are due to mutation in p53 but when this occurs in germline cells, it results in Li-Fraumeni syndrome. It is characterized by premenopausal breast cancer in combination with childhood soft tissue tumours, brain tumors, leukemia, lymphoma, and adrenocortical carcinoma. The probability that these individuals will develop breast cancer is 60% overall. Germline mutations are mostly seen in the exon 7 of p53 gene. [OMIM] A detailed account of p53 is discussed here It is an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by hamartomatous lesions in the breast, GI tract (polyps), CNS (Central Nervous System), skin and mucosa, eyes, thyroid, genitourinary tract and bones. Germline mutations in the PTEN gene is responsible for this syndrome. Diagnosis is established through identification of characteristic skin lesions (acral keratosis, facial trichilemmomas, and oral papules). It is also called as multiple hamartoma syndrome. PTEN is a tumour suppressor gene located on 10q23 chromosome. The gene product of PTEN is a phosphatase which plays an important role in regulating cell growth. Mutation in PTEN gene results in loss of protein function leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation and hamartomatous growths.
