Abstract
The extremely rare Proteus Syndrome is a hamartomatous congenital syndrome with substantial variability between clinical patient presentations. The diagnostic criteria consist of a multitude of clinical findings including hemihypertrophy, macrodactyly, epidermal nevi, subcutaneous hamartomatous tumors, and bony abnormalities. These clinical findings correlate with striking radiographic findings.

Abstract
Macrodystrophia lipomatosa (MDL), a rare congenital disorder, is considered by some to be a localized form of Proteus syndrome. The implication of the PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) gene in both strengthens this belief. We present a case who had MDL in multiple nerve territories—all on the same side of the body—with hypertrophy of mainly fibroadipose tissue throughout their distribution, thus pointing to a form of localized hemihypertrophy; both hemihypertrophy and lipomatous tumors are components of Proteus syndrome.

Abstract
The medical care of patients affected by rare disorders depends heavily on experiences garnered from prior cases, including those patients evaluated by the treating physician and those published in the medical literature. The utility of published cases is wholly dependent upon accurate diagnosis of those patients. In our experience, the rate of misdiagnosis in Proteus syndrome (PS) is high. Diagnostic criteria have been published, but these criteria have not been applied consistently and were published after many case reports appeared in the literature. We reviewed 205 cases of individuals reported to have PS in the literature and three of us independently applied the diagnostic criteria to these case reports. Our initial diagnostic congruence was 97.1% (199/205); the discrepancies in six cases were easily resolved. Only 97 (47.3%) of reported cases met the diagnostic criteria for PS; 80 cases (39%) clearly did not meet the criteria; and although 28 cases (13.7%) had features suggestive of PS, there were insufficient clinical data to make a diagnosis. Reported cases that met the PS criteria had a higher incidence of premature death, and other complications (scoliosis, megaspondyly, central nervous system abnormalities, tumors, otolaryngologic complications, pulmonary cystic malformations, dental and ophthalmogic complications) compared to those in the non-Proteus group. The cases that met the criteria were more often male, which has implications for hypotheses regarding the etiology and pathophysiology of PS. We also studied the attributes that led authors to conclude the reported patients had PS when we concluded they did not. We found that two of the diagnostic criteria (disproportionate overgrowth and connective tissue nevi) were often misinterpreted. In PS, the abnormal growth is asymmetric, distorting, relentless, and occurred at a faster rate compared to the rest of the body. Furthermore, PS was associated with irregular and disorganized bone, including hyperostoses, hyperproliferation of osteoid with variable calcification, calcified connective tissue, and elongation of long bones with abnormal thinning. In contrast, non-Proteus cases displayed overgrowth that was asymmetric but grew at a rate similar to the growth found in unaffected areas of the body. Also, the overgrowth in non-Proteus cases was associated with normal or enlarged bones together with ballooning of the overlying soft tissues. Taken together, these data show that (1) PS diagnostic criteria sort individuals with asymmetric overgrowth into distinct groups; (2) individuals with PS were more likely to have serious complications; (3) PS affects more males than females; and 4) the published diagnostic criteria are useful for clinical care and research.

Abstract
Proteus syndrome is a complex disorder comprising malformations and overgrowth of multiple tissues. The disorder is highly variable affecting tissues in a mosaic pattern. A 2-year-old boy with Proteus syndrome, with epidermal verrucal naevus, hyperplastic lesions of connective tissue, hyperostosis, overgrowth of tubular bones, bilateral inguinal hernia, and juvenile intestinal polyposis was scheduled for vertebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for further evaluation of malignancies. In addition to the pathological findings of this syndrome, potential complications such as difficult intubation, pulmonary hypertension, and pulmonary thromboembolism necessitate a careful preoperative and anesthetic preparation. MRI was performed under general anesthesia. There were no anesthetic complications. There are few previous reports on anesthesia in a patient with Proteus syndrome.

Abstract
Proteus syndrome is a congenital hamartomatous disorder characterized by partial overgrowth involving all germ layers. A somatic mutation model has been proposed since familial cases are extremely rare. We report on a 3-year-old girl with typical manifestations of Proteus syndrome, including local, asymmetric hypertrophy of various parts of the body. Total body length was reduced. Serum levels of IGF-I and especially IGF-II and their major growth hormone dependent binding protein (IGFBP-3) were significantly reduced, although growth hormone secretion after a pharmacological stimulus was normal. In vitro studies of fibroblasts derived from hypertrophied tissue showed normal IGF-I production and somewhat reduced IGF-II and IGFBP-3 production as compared to normal human skin fibroblasts. Affinity cross-linking experiments showed that fibroblasts of the affect tissue in Proteus syndrome produced an unusual pattern of IGF bindings proteins containing large amounts of an IGFBP with high affinity to IGF-II. The data suggest that IGF production is generally disturbed in Proteus syndrome with imbalanced levels of specific IGFBP in affected tissue.

Abstract
Two male offspring of a healthy father in Galaz, a remote village in Northwest Iran, were noted to show severe asymmetric genu valgum, with 57 and 82 degrees angulation and dysplasia of the lateral femoral condyle, together with adaptive biomechanical changes of the ankle alignment. Three of the five male offspring of a second marriage who have reached puberty also show variable degrees of genu valgum, increasing with growth. The intermalleolar distance in the affected sons aged 16, 15, and 12 measured 21, 16, and 14 cm, respectively, before epiphysodesis. None of the six female offspring from either marriage, and neither of the two sons under the age of 11 from the second marriage show any skeletal deformity. All members of the family are otherwise mentally and physically normal. It is possible that this genu valgum may be due to a new autosomal dominant mutation which probably occurred in the gonads of the unaffected father. The condition shows an onset age of 11 and appears to have a sex-limited expression.

Abstract
Published articles on the radiologic aspects of Proteus syndrome are sparse. This report highlights the features of this disease with specific attention to the serious pulmonary manifestations that may occur at an early age. Two cases of Proteus syndrome and severe lung disease are presented, with complete autopsy in one case and correlative surgical pathologic data in the other. Multiple superficial and visceral vascular abnormalities were present in both cases. Both patients developed rapidly progressive diffuse cystic emphysematous pulmonary disease leading to the death of one patient at age 18 years and a heart-lung transplant in the other at age 8 1/2 years. Extensive gross pulmonary cysts were evident pathologically with diffuse panlobar emphysema microscopically. Studies of collagen and cultured fibroblasts in one patient revealed no abnormality. The early presentation, rapid progression and potentially lethal nature of lung involvement has not previously been emphasized.

Abstract
A male patient followed from the age of 3 to 25 years was eventually diagnosed as having Proteus syndrome. He was born with linear epidermal nevi of the neck and forearm and presented with macrodactyly of the right hand and progressive hemihypertrophy of the right lower limb recurring after multiple reduction operations. The bone ends showed disorderly overgrowth of hyaline and fibrocartilage mixed with collagen and bone, and early differential diagnoses included Ollier's disease. The child also had vertebral anomalies, scoliosis, a bony protrusion of the cranial vertex, and strabismus. In the second decade he developed gyriform swelling of the soles, retinopathy, bilateral papillary cysts of the epididymis, and a giant cyst of the left kidney with complex glandular foci. At 22 years a 3-cm meningioma containing adipose tissue was resected, and at 24 years a 3-cm cellular nodule of the rete testis with hyperchromatic foci, probably an adenoma, was removed. The features of Proteus syndrome were those of hyperplasia and neoplasia of mostly mesodermal tissues. Unlike other reported cases, overgrowth of a finger recurred at 25 years.

Abstract
Congenital lipofibromatosis of the foot, a type of paracrine growth disorder, is a distinct clinical entity that must be differentiated from other causes of macrodactyly, with specific diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. Eleven skeletally immature patients with congenital lipofibromatosis and macrodactyly of the foot were studied. Diagnostic histopathologic criteria were documented. The most specific pathologic finding of congenital lipofibromatosis is an overabundance of fibrofatty tissue on the plantar aspect of the foot and involved toes. Surgical defatting or debulking procedures, ray resection, and phalangeal epiphysiodesis produced significant cosmetic improvement. Syndactylization and phalangeal resection were not as beneficial.

Abstract
Skin disorders in which a radiograph may detect associated bony changes or abnormalities of calcification are discussed. They are grouped into eight categories: (1) inherited diseases (e.g., alkaptonuria, neurofibromatosis); (2) congenital disorders (e.g., Sturge-Weber and Proteus syndromes); (3) inflammatory conditions (e.g., dermatomyositis, sarcoidosis); (4) infections (e.g., dental sinus, syphilis); (5) neoplasias (e.g., histiocytosis, mastocytosis); (6) drug- and environment-induced (e.g., acroosteolysis, retinoid toxicity); (7) calcinosis cutis; and (8) osteoma cutis. Part I of our review discusses the first two categories.

Abstract
A 14-year-old boy with Proteus syndrome presented for orthopaedic surgery to his legs. No report in the literature exists on anaesthesia for this condition. Our patients posed airway problems that were managed by tracheal intubation under sedation using a fibreoptic bronchoscope. Anaesthesia was induced with thiopentone and maintained with nitrous oxide and isoflurane in oxygen. His lungs were ventilated mechanically throughout surgery, which was uneventful.

Abstract
Here we report on a boy who died at 16 1/2 months with hemihypertrophy, eye abnormalities, macrodactyly, hamartomas, pigmented nevi, cerebral involvement, and other anomalies compatible with the Proteus syndrome. In addition, he also had abnormalities previously unreported in the Proteus syndrome including craniosynostosis and complex congenital heart defects. He seems to represent an extremely severe form of the Proteus syndrome and expands the already broad range of the phenotype.
