COWDEN SYNDROME

Alternate names

COWDEN SYNDROME Is also known as bzs, cowden disease, bbrs, macrocephaly, multiple lipomas, and hemangiomata, pten hamartoma tumor syndrome with granular cell tumor, bannayan-zonana syndrome, macrocephaly, pseudopapilledema, and multiple hemangiomata, cs, cd, mham, pten hamartoma tumor syndrome, ri

Description

Cowden syndrome (CS) is a difficult to recognize, under-diagnosed genodermatosis characterized by the presence of multiple hamartomas in various tissues and an increased risk for malignancies of the breast, thyroid, endometrium, kidney and colorectum. When CS is accompanied by germline PTEN mutations, it belongs to the PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS; see this term) group.

Most common symptoms of COWDEN SYNDROME

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Short stature
  • Generalized hypotonia
