Diagnostic Considerations

Because Proteus syndrome is rare and characteristic features develop over time, misdiagnosis is a possibility. [15] Other conditions to consider include the following:

  • Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis

  • Hemihyperplasia lipomatosis syndrome

  • Congenital lipomatous overgrowth, vascular malformations, and epidermal nevi (CLOVE) syndrome
