    Background:

    • Cowden's disease is a rare genodermatosis.
    • It is characterized by multiple hamartomatous lesions, including facial papules, gingival papillomas, and acral papules.
    • Patients with Cowden's disease have an increased risk of developing certain cancers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize the key features of Cowden's disease.
    • To highlight the association between Cowden's disease and an elevated incidence of breast and thyroid carcinoma.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on Cowden's disease.
    • Analysis of clinical characteristics and epidemiological data.

    Main Results:

    • Cowden's disease presents with a distinct set of mucocutaneous manifestations.

  • A significant correlation exists between Cowden's disease and a higher likelihood of breast and thyroid malignancies.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cowden's disease is a significant risk factor for breast and thyroid cancer.
    • Early recognition and monitoring are crucial for patients diagnosed with Cowden's disease due to cancer predisposition.
