Excerpt

PTEN tumour hamartoma syndrome is now the favoured term for a condition resulting from a germline mutation of the phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) gene [1], manifesting as Cowden syndrome (CS), Bannayan–Riley–Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS), PTEN-related Proteus syndrome (PS), and Proteus-like syndrome [2]. Mucosal hamartomas in PTEN hamartoma syndrome occur in the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract. We present a novel hamartoma of the conjunctiva that we have termed conjunctival hamartoma with eosinophilia (CHE) to add to the phenotype of hamartomas that occur in this syndrome. …
