Both benign and malignant thyroid disease are well-established components of Cowden syndrome (CS), an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple hamartomas and breast cancer that may be considered a phakomatosis. The susceptibility gene for CS is PTEN, a tumor suppressor gene on 10q23.3
BACKGROUND
The authors describe 2 cases of dysplasic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum or Lhermitte-Duclos disease revealing Cowden disease or multiple hamartoma neoplasia syndrome. Cowden disease is a rare autosomal dominant disorder, now considered as a phakomatosis. Nevertheless, relationships
Gómez-López-Hernández (GLH) syndrome or cerebello-trigeminal dysplasia is a neurocutaneous syndrome whose etiology is unknown at the present time. We report two additional Brazilian patients, including the oldest one known to date (age 29). Here, we review the expanded phenotype in four patients
Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is among the neurocutaneous diseases, which has several clinical manifestations of ocular (glaucoma), cutaneous (port-wine stain), neurological (seizures) and vascular problems. Molecular mechanisms of SWS pathogenesis are initiated by the somatic mutation in GNAQ.

Initially identified in high-grade gliomas, mutations in the PTEN tumor-suppressor are also found in many sporadic cancers and a few related autosomal dominant hamartoma syndromes. PTEN is a 3'-specific phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3) phosphatase and functions as a negative
