Overview
Cowden syndrome follows an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. If left untreated, patients with cowden syndrome may prone to develop manu cancers.Common complications of cowden syndrome include breast, colon cancer and endometrial cancer. Prognosis is generally ranges from excellent to poor.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of cowden syndrome usually tend to develop in second decade of life but varies and develops in ranging from 4 to 75 years.[1][2]
- If left untreated, patients with cowden syndrome may prone to develop many cancers.[3]
Complications
- Common complications of cowden syndrome include:[4][5][6]
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally ranges from excellent to poor, and the mortality rate of patients with cowden syndrome is based on malignant tumors associated with it.
- The presence of benign tumours is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with cowden syndrome.
