Abstract
- Mucocutaneous papillomas can be manifestations of an autosomal dominant condition known as Cowden syndrome (CS). We report the case of a 22-year-old man with oral and cutaneous papules and a past history of thyroid malignancy. It is important to recognize oral manifestations of CS; they can lead to early diagnosis of the condition.
