[Cowden syndrome].

[cowden syndrome]

Cowden syndrome is rare ; oral symptoms are not always diagnosed . This case of Cowden syndrome was revealed by gingival hypertrophy .A 21 -year -old female patient consulted for gingival hypertrophy and multiple papules in the mouth . She had a history of thyroid lobectomy due to a goiter . The gingival papillomatosis and the goiter suggested a Cowden syndrome . The diagnosis was confirmed clinically by facial skin papules .Cutaneous and oral lesions are usually the first symptoms of the syndrome . Diffuse gingival papillomatosis may suggest a Cowden syndrome and should lead to screen for associated symptoms . A high -risk diagnosis of breast and thyroid cancer is associated to Cowden syndrome and the patient should have a yearly follow-up .
