We reported a case of Cawden's disease in a 55 year-old woman associated with inflammatory fibroid polyp of the colon. She hadf acial papules, acral keratosis and gingival papillamatosis, and diagnosed as Cowden's disease. Endoscopic and radiological examination of the gastro-intestinal tract revealed polyposis of esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum. The histological diagnosis of these polyps was hyperplastic polyp. We also found a pedunculated polyp in the ascending colon, which was proven to be an inflammatory fibroid polypafter surgery. This is the first reported case of Cowden's disease associated with inflammatory fibroid polyp.
