Es handelt sich um ein Symptom des Cowden Syndroms:

Genetic testing was performed and showed an inactivating mutation in the tumor-suppressor gene encoding phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN).

Oral mucosal papillomas are commonly associated skin lesions. Adapted from N Engl J Med 2020; 382:e29
