Cowden syndrome- Clinico-radiological illustration of a rare case.
[cowden syndrome]
Cowden
syndrome
(
CS
)
or
multiple
hamartoma
syndrome
is
an
infrequent
genodermatoses
,
which
is
inherited
as
an
autosomal
dominant
trait
resulting
from
the
mutation
in
the
Phosphatase
and
Tensin
homolog
gene
on
the
arm
10
q
and
is
principally
characterized
by
multiple
hamartomas
with
an
increased
risk
of
development
of
malignancies
.
Facial
and
oral
signs
are
remarkable
in
the
form
of
multiple
papules
and
trichilemmomas
on
the
face
.
We
report
one
such
rare
case
of
CS
in
a
19
-
year
-old
patient
who
was
diagnosed
on
the
basis
of
her
oral
mucosal
lesions
and
was
further
investigated
and
diagnosed
with
other
hamartomas
.
The
present
case
report
signifies
the
responsibility
of
the
oral
physician
in
the
early
diagnosis
of
this
progressive
pathological
syndrome
as
it
leaves
its
footmark
in
the
oral
cavity
in
the
form
of
oral
mucosal
lesions
.
