Proteus syndrome: musculoskeletal manifestations and management: a report of two cases

D Demetriades et al. J Pediatr Orthop. 1992 Jan.

Abstract

The literature on clinical and roentgenographic findings of Proteus syndrome is reviewed. Two patients with Proteus syndrome who exhibited skeletal deformities and characteristic features such as limb length discrepancy, skin lesions, and soft tissue tumors are reported. Persistent difficulties in treating malformed spines and unequal legs, as well as unpredictable tissue reaction to trauma, are discussed.
