Proteus syndrome, a rare overgrowth disorder, presents with unique radiological findings including vertebral and limb abnormalities, and extensive lipomatosis. These detailed radiological observations aid in diagnosing and managing complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Proteus syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by segmental overgrowth.
  • Accurate radiological diagnosis is crucial for understanding the extent of the condition.

Observation:

  • Two patients with Proteus syndrome exhibited previously unhighlighted features.
  • Key findings included vertebral dysplasia (megaspondylodysplasia), bilateral genu valgum, and extensive intra-abdominal/mesenteric lipomatosis.

Findings:

  • Macrodactyly, muscle atrophy, and abdominal subcutaneous fat accumulation were noted in both.
  • One patient had mental retardation and frontal skull prominence; the other required emergency laparotomy for mesenteric fat torsion.

Implications:

  • This study expands the known radiological spectrum of Proteus syndrome.
  • Highlights the utility of computed tomography in diagnosing lipomatous tissues in Proteus syndrome.
  • Emphasizes the need for comprehensive imaging to guide patient management.
