Learn About Howel-Evans Syndrome

What is the definition of Howel-Evans Syndrome?
Tylosis with esophageal cancer (TOC) is an inherited condition that increases the risk for esophageal cancer. The symptoms of TOC include thickening of the skin on the palms and soles of the feet (palmoplantar keratoderma) and white lesions inside the mouth. People with TOC are at very high risk to develop esophageal cancer. The palmoplantar keratoderma usually occurs in childhood, and esophageal cancer usually occurs in adulthood. TOC is caused by a variant in the RHBDF2 gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Diagnosis is based on the symptoms, clinical exam, and family history. The diagnosis may be confirmed by the results of genetic testing.

Early in my training at the Mayo Clinic I was taught that the interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered. With that as my guiding principle, I strive to create a warm and trusting relationship with my patients so they may feel at ease discussing their skin care issues with me. I believe strongly in educating patients on how best they can be in control of their own outcomes; they are the ones who live day to day in their own skin and I need them to help with their care plan! Lastly, I try to administer a healthy dose of laughter with each prescription or procedure as I've found this helps my patients get better more quickly.
