Cowden syndrome is an autosomal dominant rare inherited disorder characterized by multiple hamartomas in variety of tissues from all three embryonic layers. Mucocutaneous lesions like facial trichilemmomas, acral keratoses, papillomatous papules, also macrocephaly and malignancies including breast, tyhroid and endometrial carcinoma are hallmark of the disease.
