Proteus syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by skeletal and mesodermal malformations. Key features include hemihypertrophy, macrodactyly, and unique skin and subcutaneous masses.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Dermatology
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Proteus syndrome, named after the Greek god Proteus, is a disorder involving skeletal and mesodermal malformations.
  • The syndrome's clinical features are still being defined since its initial description in 1983.

Observation:

  • This review analyzed 34 reported cases of Proteus syndrome.
  • Major clinical findings observed in over half of the cases were identified.

Findings:

  • Key findings include hemihypertrophy, macrodactyly, exostoses, epidermal nevi, and cerebriform plantar/palmar masses.
  • Subcutaneous masses, including lipomatous, hamartomatous, and angiomatous tumors, are common.
  • Scoliosis was also noted as a significant clinical manifestation.

Implications:

  • Understanding these defining features aids in diagnosing Proteus syndrome.
  • Further research into the histological nature of subcutaneous masses is warranted.
  • Accurate identification of Proteus syndrome is crucial for appropriate patient management and genetic counseling.
