Overview
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with cowden syndrome. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with facial papules.
Indications
- Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with cowden syndrome. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with the following:
- Dysplastic Gangliocytoma:
- Keeping in mind about the potential effects of hydrocephalus like fatal herniation, resection of dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum should be considered.
- Gastrointestinal polyps:
- Patients with cowden syndrome should consider resection of gastrointestinal polyps endoscopically which includes adenomatous polyps which are risk for developing colon cancer.
- Endoscopic techniques like narrow band imaging should be considered for removing large polyps (≥1 cm).
