    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Cowden's disease is a rare genodermatosis with distinct skin and oral signs, increasing cancer risk, especially breast cancer. Early diagnosis via these lesions aids patient monitoring for internal conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics and Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Syndromology

    Background:

    • Cowden's disease is a rare genodermatosis.
    • It presents with characteristic mucocutaneous lesions.
    • Associated internal anomalies affect multiple organ systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize the clinical features of Cowden's disease.
    • To highlight the association with internal malignancies.
    • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis through dermatological findings.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of reported patient cases.
    • Clinical description of characteristic lesions.
    • Analysis of associated internal anomalies and cancer incidence.

    Main Results:

    • Cowden's disease involves papillomas, verrucous papules, and acral keratoses.
    • Internal anomalies affect the breast, thyroid, GI, reproductive, and skeletal systems.
    • Cancer, particularly breast cancer, occurred in 12 of 32 patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Characteristic skin and oral lesions facilitate early diagnosis of Cowden's disease.
    • Early diagnosis enables close patient follow-up for internal disease development.
    • Management involves monitoring for associated cancers and internal anomalies.
