Proteus syndrome is a rare hamartoneoplastic disorder with varied symptoms. This study clarifies its ophthalmic features, identifying epibulbar and posterior segment hamartomas in a unique case.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Dermatology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Proteus syndrome is a rare hamartoneoplastic malformation syndrome with uncertain etiology.
  • Cardinal manifestations include pigmented nevi, hemihypertrophy, macrodactyly, lipomas, and cerebroid-gyriform skin patterns.
  • It has been previously confused with other overgrowth disorders like neurofibromatosis.

Observation:

  • Ophthalmic features of Proteus syndrome require further clarification.
  • A review of 16 previously described cases was conducted.
  • A unique patient case with unilateral epibulbar and suspected posterior segment hamartomas is presented.

Findings:

  • The study aims to clarify the ophthalmic manifestations of Proteus syndrome.
  • It reviews existing literature on ocular findings in Proteus syndrome.

  • New findings include unilateral epibulbar and suspected posterior segment hamartomas in a patient with Proteus syndrome.

    • Implications:

    • Clarifying ophthalmic features aids in accurate diagnosis and management of Proteus syndrome.
    • Identifying specific ocular hamartomas contributes to understanding the syndrome's variable expression.
    • This research helps differentiate Proteus syndrome from other overgrowth disorders, improving patient care.
