Abstract EN
Cowden Syndrome is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited disorder.
Patients with Cowden Syndrome are at increased risk of various benign and malignant neoplasms in breast, endometrium, thyroid, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary system.
Neuroendocrine tumors are ubiquitous neoplasms that may occur anywhere in the human body.
Bronchopulmonary neuroendocrine tumors include four different histological subtypes, among these, typical and atypical pulmonary carcinoids.
No association between Cowden Syndrome and neuroendocrine tumors has previously been described.
We present two cases of Cowden Syndrome that were diagnosed with pulmonary carcinoids.
