Research Notes on Cowden Syndrome
Cowden syndrome -- also called by various other names, including multiple hamartoma syndrome and PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome -- is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the development of multiple benign tumor-like growths called hamartomas, and an increased risk of certain cancers. Individuals with Cowden sydrome have a high risk of developing breast cancer, thyroid cancer or endometrial cancer. Cowden syndrome is estimated to affect about one in every 200,000 people.
