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.
