Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Dermatology
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Proteus syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by segmental overgrowth and hamartomatous tumors.
  • It presents with significant variability in clinical manifestations, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 42-year-old woman with Proteus syndrome is presented.
  • Key features included right hemihypertrophy, macrodactyly of the right hallux, severe kyphoscoliosis, and bilateral plantar connective tissue nevi.

Findings:

  • The patient's presentation exemplifies the complex and asymmetric skeletal and cutaneous findings associated with Proteus syndrome.
  • This case underscores the importance of recognizing the diverse phenotypic spectrum of this condition.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of Proteus syndrome is crucial for appropriate management and genetic counseling.
  • Further research into the molecular mechanisms of Proteus syndrome may lead to targeted therapies.
