Diffuse intestinal ganglioneuromatosis an uncommon manifestation of Cowden syndrome.
[cowden syndrome]
Diffuse
intestinal
ganglioneuromatosis
is
a
hamartomatous
polyposis
characterized
by
a
disseminated
,
intramural
or
transmural
proliferation
of
neural
elements
involving
the
enteric
plexuses
.
It
has
been
associated
with
MEN
II
,
neurofibromatosis
type
1
and
hamartomatous
polyposis
associated
with
phosphatase
and
tensin
homolog
mutation
.
We
report
the
case
of
a
female
patient
with
a
history
of
a
breast
and
endometrial
tumor
who
presented
in
a
colonoscopy
performed
for
rectal
bleeding
diffuse
ganglioneuromatosis
,
which
oriented
the
search
for
other
characteristic
findings
of
Cowden
syndrome
given
the
personal
history
of
the
patient
.
The
presence
of
an
esophagogastric
polyposis
was
also
noted
.
Cowden
syndrome
is
characterized
by
skin
lesions
,
but
it
is
rarely
diagnosed
by
these
lesions
,
because
they
are
usually
overlooked
.
Intestinal
polyposis
is
not
a
major
diagnostic
criterion
but
it
is
very
useful
for
early
diagnosis
.
The
combination
of
colonic
polyposis
and
glucogenic
acanthosis
should
orient
the
diagnosis
to
Cowden
syndrome
.
