Abstract:
In summary, a case of macrocephaly and lipomatosis of the scalp and forehead has been presented. The phenotypic and clinical features found in our patient are in accordance with previous reports. The differential diagnosis with other hamartoneoplastic syndromes has been evaluated and discarded, concluding that the present report is in accordance with Bannayan-Zonana syndrome. However, as in other inherited traits, finding a genetic test to diagnose this entity remains a challenge.
