PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome refers to a spectrum of disorders caused by mutations in the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene. Cowden syndrome, the principal PTEN-related disorder is characterized by multiple neoplasms and hamartomas, mucosal papillomatosis, and skin lesions, trichilemmomas. Trichilemmomas and mucocutaneous papillomatous papules are one of the first signs of the disease. Early recognition of these skin lesions may help on diagnosing an underlying malignancy and early cancer screening.
PTEN错构瘤肿瘤综合征是指由磷酸酶和张力蛋白同源物(PTEN)基因突变引起的一系列疾病。考登综合征是主要的PTEN相关疾病,其特征为多发性肿瘤和错构瘤、黏膜乳头状瘤病以及皮肤病变(毛鞘瘤)。毛鞘瘤和皮肤黏膜乳头状丘疹是该疾病的早期症状之一。早期识别这些皮肤病变可能有助于诊断潜在的恶性肿瘤并进行早期癌症筛查。
