Overview
Common physical examination findings of cowden syndrome include trichilemmomas, acral keratoses, and facial papules. The presence of trichilemmomas on physical examination is highly suggestive of cowden syndrome.
Physical Examination
Appearance of the Patient
- Patients with cowden syndrome usually appear normal.
Vital Signs
- Vital signs are normal in patients with cowden syndrome.
Skin

- Skin examination of patients with cowden syndrome is very important and helps in the diagnosis
- Trichilemmomas:
- Trichilemmomas are solitary sporadic lesion which arise from the outer root sheath of the hair follicle.[5][6][7]
- Trichilemmomas are most commonly occurs in face and neck areas of the body parts.
- Trichilemmomas are hallmark clinical sign of cowden syndrome patients.
- On gross examination trichilemmomas are wart-like and skin-colored papules.
- On histology examination trichilemmomas are contain large glycogen-rich cells.
- Biopsy of the trichilemmomas helps in the diagnosis of the cowden syndrome .
- Trichilemmomas:
- Acral keratoses:
- Facial papules
- Oral papules and papillomas
- The location of oral papules and papillomas are most commonly in lips and buccal mucous membranes which are pink in colour and 1 to 4 mm in diameter size.[12][13]
- When the papules coalesce they form as cobblestone appearance.
- Palmar keratosis
- In patients with cowden syndrome palmar keratosis presents as shiny with central dells.
- Lipomas
Lungs
- Pulmonary examination of patients with cowden syndrome is usually normal.
Heart
- Cardiovascular examination of patients with cowden syndrome is usually normal.
Abdomen
- Abdominal examination of patients with cowden syndrome is usually normal.
Genitourinary
- Genitourinary examination of patients with cowden syndrome in women shows uterine fibroids.[15]
- Genitourinary examination of patients with cowden syndrome in men shows multiple bilateral hyperechoic testicular lesions which are gonna confirmed by ultrasound.[16][17][18]
Neuromuscular
Extremities
- Extremities examination of patients with cowden syndrome is usually normal.
