[Cowden's disease : multiple hamartomata syndrome (author's transl)].

The authors emphasize the means for the diagnosis of multiple hamartomata, the typical symptoms and signs in the case reported, and that the family history included a daughter aged 8 years with macrocephaly, and slight mental retardation, who had already been operated upon twice for tonsillectomy.
