Summary:Cowden’s disease is a rare autosomal dominant condition with characteristic mucocutaneous papillomatous lesions. These lesions are mucocutaneous markers for increased risk of malignancies in the thyroid, breast and the gastrointestinal tract.

Important management aspects of these patients are considered.
