Overview
Screening for sporadic hamartoma is not recommended. However, according to the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), screening for multiple hamartomas by genetic evaluation is recommended among patients with hamartomatous polyposis syndromes such as juvenile polyposis syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, and Cowden syndrome.
Screening
According to the American College of Gastroenterology, screening for multiple hamartomas is recommended among patients with :[1][2]
- Genetic evaluation
- Annual thyroid ultrasound
- Skin check with physical examination
- Monthly breast self-examination: annual breast and endometrial screening (mammogram, transvaginal ultrasound, biopsy, and MRI may also be incorporated)[1]
- Colonoscopy
- Renal imaging
