    Area of Science:

    • Genetics and Dermatology
    • Rare genetic disorders
    • Hamartoma syndromes

    Background:

    • Multiple hamartoma syndrome (Cowden's disease) is a rare genodermatosis.
    • It affects tissues from all three embryonic germ layers.
    • Characterized by hamartomas and an increased risk of malignancies.

    Observation:

    • Presents two novel cases of Cowden's disease in a father and daughter.
    • Both patients exhibited classic mucocutaneous features.
    • The father presented with significant cutaneous amyloid deposits without malignancy.

    Findings:

    • A unique fibroma was excised from both individuals.
    • This fibroma's characteristics are specific to Cowden's disease.
    • Suggests adding this fibroma to diagnostic criteria for the syndrome.

    Implications:

    • Expands the understanding of Cowden's disease manifestations.
    • Highlights potential extragenital findings like amyloidosis.
    • Recommends refining diagnostic criteria for multiple hamartoma syndrome.
