Liver Mets? stage 1a (1.5 mm tumour) breast cancer and thyroid cancer in 99 and also been clinically diagnosed with Cowden s syndrome (multiple hamartoma syndrome)recently http://www.medhelp.org/forums/BreastCancer/messages/1944a.html
Extractions: My wife (35 yrs.old) was diagnosed over 2 yrs ago with stage 1a (1.5 mm tumour) breast cancer and thyroid cancer in '99 and also been clinically diagnosed with Cowden's syndrome (multiple hamartoma syndrome)recently. She is doing well. She had an abdominal ultrasound ( 1st time, part of regular screening for Cowden's syndrome). Radiologist found single 5mm lesion consistant with hemangioma on her liver, but could not exclude metastasis due to her history and ordered follow-up with CT. Our question is, how do mets usually present, as single lesion or multiple? Generally how good is ultrasound at distinguishing between the two (should we be hopeful with her impression of hemangioma)? Is hemangioma common on the liver? Thanks in advance.

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."

Longy Cowden disease (CD) (MIM 158350), or multiple hamartoma syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant familial cancer syndrome with a high risk of breast cancer. Its clinical features include a wide array of abnormalities but the main characteristics are hamartomas of the skin, breast, thyroid, oral mucosa and intestinal epithelium. The pathognomonic hamartomatous features of CD include multiple smooth facial papules, acral keratosis and multiple oral papillomas . The pathological hallmark of the facial papules are multiple trichilemmomas . Expression of the disease is variable and penetrance of the dermatological lesions is assumed to be virtually complete by the age of twenty . Central nervous system manifestations of CD were emphasized only recently and include megalencephaly, epilepsy and dysplastic gangliocytomas of the cerebellum (Lhermitte-Duclos disease, LDD)

Samenvatting-Eng a) Cowden disease (CD) or multiple hamartoma syndrome (MIM # 158350) is a rare autosomal dominant familial cancer syndrome with a high risk for breast cancer. Its clinical features include a wide array of abnormalities but the main characteristics are hamartomas of the skin, breast, thyroid, oral mucosa and intestinal epithelium. The pathognomonic hamartomatous features of CD include multiple smooth facial papules, acral keratosis and multiple oral papillomas. The pathological hallmark of the facial papules are multiple trichilemmomas. Central nervous system manifestations of CD include megalencephaly, epilepsy and dysplastic gangliocytomas of the cerebellum (Lhermitte-Duclos disease, LDD). Early diagnosis is important since female patients with CD are at risk of developing breast cancer. Other lesions include benign and malignant disease of the thyroid, intestinal polyps and genitourinary abnormalities. Interestingly, anticipation has been described in a number of families.

The first provides you with some tips on searching for material on Medline, and the second provides links to other Australian and overseas web resources, including some full text report and journal literature. You will find material on cancer in Medline, but you will need to be aware of the thesaurus (MeSH) terms used to search for topics in this area. For example, if you look up the term Cancer in the Medline Thesaurus you will find the following. Cancer is not a MeSH term, but it is associated with the MeSH term Neoplasms In other words Medline does not use the word "cancer" in its list of terms. You will need to search the word "neoplasms". This term has an extensive number of more specific terms associated with it.
