Overview
Head and neck CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of cowden syndrome. Findings on CT scan suggestive of cowden syndrome include enlarged thyroid lobes and calcifications.
CT scan
Neck CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of cowden syndrome. Findings on CT scan suggestive of cowden syndrome include:
- Bilaterally enlarged thyroid lobes
Head CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of cowden syndrome. Findings on CT scan suggestive of cowden syndrome include:
- Hypodense mass with calcifications in cerebellum
- Arteriovenous malformation
- Meningioma with associated hyperostosis
