[P&S Journal:Wi:97] Cowden's Syndrome: Masked Menace

Extractions: W hen Mary Smith (not her real name) was 16 years old, she found a lump in her breast. "My mother was terrifiedshe thought it was cancer," says Ms. Smith, now 53. "But in those days, no one talked about cancer. So even though I was scared that I had to have surgery, I didn't know the overwhelming possibilities." Since then, she has had a seemingly endless series of cancer scares and actual bouts with cancer: four biopsies for suspicious breast lumps, a lumpectomy followed by a mastectomy, a hysterectomy, partial nephrectomy for what turned out to be a benign mass, and, in 1996, another mastectomy. Mary Smith does not have the BRCA1 or BRCA2 breast cancer genes. Instead, she suffers from a little-known disease called Cowden's syndrome (CS; also known as multiple hamartoma syndrome)an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by skin lesions and a high risk of both breast and thyroid cancer. The medical literature describes CS as a rare disease associated with marked disfigurement. But according to Dr. Monica Peacocke, associate professor of medicine and of dermatology, CS is fairly common, not generally disfiguring, easily missed by many doctors, and an under-recognized cause of many cases of familial breast cancer. "The genetic basis of many types of familial breast cancer is not yet known," says Dr. Peacocke, who is collecting the genetic pedigrees of people like Mary Smith. "CS is masquerading as sporadic breast cancer."

Extractions: Sandy's Story: A Life Touched by Genetics I hadn't spoken with Dale, my genetic counselor at Southern Maine Genetics Services (SMGS) in Scarborough, in about seven years, and I suddenly had the impulse to call her. Not only did she remember me, but she also remembered "Cowden's Syndrome" (the rare genetic disease I have). I can't tell you how good that made me feel. I had no idea what a Genetic Counselor was...Dale was to start me on a journey that is ongoing to this day. Southern Maine Genetics Services (at the Foundation for Blood Research) had been recommended to me by my dermatologist. I had been living with the diagnosis of "Accro-keratosis verruciformis of Hopf" for about ten years. However, when growths began to appear internally, the diagnosis was changed to Cowden's syndrome. Cowden's syndrome was something new to me, and the only information I had about it was from an awful-looking picture in a big, green book. So, when I first walked into Dale's office I was scared, confused and sure that, in time, I would look like the picture in the big green book. Some feel initial impressions are very important. Dale had a picture of her daughter on a horse in her office; this was an immediate ground breaker for me, as I had also ridden in my youth. I had no idea what a genetic counselor was. My dermatologist recommended I consider a genetic evaluation, so I made an appointment. Dale was to start me on a journey that is ongoing to this day. After our initial conversation, a doctor joined us and Dale explained some of my situation to him. He made some telephone calls to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and my journey had begun. A day or so later, I spoke with Dr. Charis Eng, who was then a Fellow at Dana Farber. I have been her patient ever since. Dr. Eng is, at this writing, the only doctor in the United States who is researching Cowden's Syndrome.

Extractions: Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD), a term used interchangeably to Dysplastic Cerebellar Gangliocytoma, is a rare disorder characterized by disordered cellular migration occurring during 2-5 months of intrauterine life[1]. A slowly progressive tumor like mass forms and replaces the normal architecture in the Cerebellum.The molecular layer is widened and consists of abnormal Ganglion cells, the Granular cell layer is hypertrophied while the Purkinje cells are absent[2]. These changes can be focal or diffuse. Association to Phakomatosis like Tuberous Sclerosis is spiculated[3] but the strongest link is the one with Cowden's Syndrome (Hamartoma-Neoplasia Complex)[1,2,3,4]. According to some LDD might be a corollary of Cowden's syndrome .For this reason every patient of LDD should be screened for components of Cowden's syndrome like acral keratosis, Mucocutaneous lesions, Thyroid adenoma, Fibrocystic disease, Ovarian cysts, Intestinal polyposis, Arteriovenous malformation and bilateral breast tumors[1,2,5].

Final Diagnosis -- Case 263
LDD is associated with cowden s syndrome (CS), a rare autosomal dominant familialcancer syndrome with multiple manifestations including trichilemmomas
http://path.upmc.edu/cases/case263/dx.html

Extractions: DIAGNOSIS: DYSPLASTIC GANGLIOCYTOMA OF THE CEREBELLUM (LHERMITTE-DUCLOS DISEASE, LDD) DISCUSSION: Lhermitte-Duclos disease was first described in 1920 and is quite rare with fewer than 100 cases having been previously reported (9). This entity has also been described in the literature under the names of Purkinjeoma, granular cell hypertrophy of the cerebellum, hamartoma of the cerebellum, dysplastic gangliocytoma, ganglioneuroma, and gangliomatosis of the cerebellum. Patients tend to be young adults and may present with signs of cerebellar dysfunction or increased intracranial pressure secondary to obstructive hydrocephalus, yet cerebellar signs are minimal or absent in up to one half of those with the lesion (8). The characteristic MR pattern is a mass lesion within the cerebellar hemisphere exhibiting a striated pattern that is hypointense on T1-weighted images, hyperintense on T2-weighted images, and is non-enhancing with contrast (5,7). Histologically, the hypointense T1 and hyperintense T2 densities correspond to the inner portion of the diseased folia consisting of the deep molecular layer, the internal granular layer, and the white matter (5). The outer molecular layer of the folia remains isointense on MR studies. Although some computed tomographic (CT) scans demonstrate the hypointense-isointense banding pattern, inherent posterior fossa artifact makes MR the imaging modality of choice (5).
