Since the discovery that germline mutations of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN cause Cowden syndrome, it has become evident that some women who present with breast cancer in the absence of obvious features of Cowden syndrome have unsuspected PTEN mutations. The same is likely to hold true for as yet uncertain numbers of men and women presenting with what appears to be isolated thyroid cancer or a broad range of other disorders, according to Dr. Eng, professor of medicine and director of the clinical cancer genetics program at Ohio State University in Columbus. Cowden syndrome is notoriously difficult to diagnosis. Penetrance of PTEN mutations is variable, the spectrum of associated clinical manifestations is large and diverse, and the hallmark skin lesions are subtle and easily missed.

The Ministry Network Cowden Syndrome The risk for breast cancer is increased with Cowden syndrome, a rare autosomal dominant disorder that is also associated with a number of specific noncancerous features. Cowden syndrome is associated with the following characteristics: macrocephaly (increased head size) increased risk of breast cancer, with an average age of onset ranging from 38 to 46 years increased risk of thyroid cancer increased risk of endometrial cancer Additional features can include noncancerous thyroid lesions, hamartomatous intestinal polyps, lipomas (benign fatty tumors), fibromas, uterine fibroids, and fibrocystic disease of the breast. Some individuals who have inherited a germline PTEN mutation never develop cancer because they never get the second mutation necessary to knock out the function of the gene and start the process of tumor formation. This can make the cancer appear to skip generations in a family, when, in reality, the mutation is present. Persons with a mutation, regardless of whether they develop cancer, however, have a 50/50 chance to pass the mutation on to the next generation. It is also important to remember that the PTEN gene is not located on the sex chromosomes. Therefore, mutations can be inherited from the mother or the father's side of the family.

Subtle clinical and distinctive histologic features may characterize these superficial cutaneous tumors. Their significance resides in the association with Cowden disease and the need to differentiate trichilemmomas from other more aggressive cutaneous tumors. Clinically, trichilemmomas present as smooth, asymptomatic papules or verrucoid growths. They may occur as a solitary lesion or as multiple lesions, and they are usually found on the face (see Image 1 ). These lesions often mimic a basal cell carcinoma or a wart. Trichilemmoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any indistinct facial papule. Differentiation from a basal cell carcinoma or a trichilemmal carcinoma is needed for appropriate patient management. Trichilemmomas are often reported in association with a nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn. When many trichilemmomas are present, Cowden disease (multiple hamartoma syndrome) should be suspected. The diagnosis of trichilemmoma is usually obtained by microscopic examination, revealing distinct histologic features.
