Cowden's disease with pulmonary hamartoma.
A case of Cowden's disease is reported. A 38-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of an abnormal left lung shadow on a chest radiograph. There were no symptoms, although the patient had multiple papules on the nose and pharynx mucosa. There were a few fibromas on the axillas and the inguinal regions. The patient had thyroid goiters, gastrointestinal polyposis, and a pulmonary hamartoma. The latter has not been reported previously in Cowden's disease.
