Endometrial cancer in a 14-year-old girl with Cowden syndrome: a case report.
[cowden syndrome]
The
appearance
of
endometrial
cancer
in
adolescence
is
uncommon
and
warrants
investigation
for
an
hereditary
cancer
syndrome
.
Cowden
syndrome
is
an
autosomal
dominant
cancer
syndrome
associated
with
a
germline
PTEN
mutation
and
increased
risk
of
breast
,
thyroid
,
endometrial
and
colon
cancer
.
In
this
report
we
present
a
case
of
a
14
-
year
-old
nulligravid
female
diagnosed
with
grade
1
endometrial
adenocarcinoma
.
She
subsequently
developed
fibrocystic
breast
disease
and
colon
polyps
and
was
diagnosed
with
Cowden
syndrome
at
age
20
.
We
therefore
recommend
formal
evaluation
for
Cowden
syndrome
to
be
considered
when
endometrial
cancer
is
diagnosed
in
adolescence
.
