This case study highlights Proteus syndrome, a rare disorder presenting with extensive vascular malformations and limb overgrowth. Successful management involved split-skin grafting and compression stockings for a recalcitrant leg ulcer.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome diagnosis in infancy.
  • Patient presented with a recalcitrant leg ulcer and septic soft tissue infections.
  • Extensive vascular malformation complicated by chronic wound.

Observation:

  • Asymmetric limb hypertrophy, portwine stains, venous varicosities.
  • Cerebriform palmoplantar hypertrophy, macrodactyly, syndactyly, and pes equinus deformity.
  • Multiple lipomas, café-au-lait spot, and venous-lymphatic malformation confirmed via MRI.

Findings:

  • The patient's syndromic features led to a Proteus syndrome diagnosis.
  • Split-skin grafting achieved complete wound healing for the leg ulcer.
  • Custom compression stockings prevented recurrence of the ulcer.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of recognizing Proteus syndrome's diverse manifestations.
  • Effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach, including wound care and compression therapy.
  • Early diagnosis and tailored treatment are crucial for managing complications associated with Proteus syndrome.
