Cowden's disease: a case report and literature review

Y M Chen et al. Gastrointest Radiol. 1987.

Abstract

Cowden's disease, or multiple hamartoma syndrome, is an uncommon condition with characteristic mucocutaneous lesions associated with abnormalities of the breast, thyroid, and gastrointestinal tract. We describe a 51-year-old man with hyperplastic polyposis of the entire alimentary tract as the most prominent feature of this disease. We also present a review of 85 cases of this entity as reported in the English medical literature, and summarize the pertinent findings.
