Ruvalcaba-Myhre-Smith syndrome is a rare condition characterized by macrocephaly, penile pigmentations, and intestinal polyps. This review details new cases and expands on known features of this genetic disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Dermatology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Ruvalcaba-Myhre-Smith syndrome (RMS) was first described in 1980.
  • It is a rare genetic disorder affecting adult males.

Observation:

  • The syndrome classically presents with macrocephaly, penile pigmented macules, and hamartomatous intestinal polyps.
  • Eleven additional cases have been identified since its initial description.
  • This study introduces two new cases of RMS.

Findings:

  • The review focuses on cutaneous manifestations associated with RMS.
  • Additional clinical features observed in patients are also detailed.
  • This expands the understanding of the syndrome's phenotypic spectrum.

Implications:

  • Improved diagnostic criteria for Ruvalcaba-Myhre-Smith syndrome.
  • Enhanced clinical management strategies for affected individuals.
  • Further research into the genetic basis and pathophysiology of RMS.
