Proteus Syndrome (PS) is a congenital disorder that causes skin overgrowth and atypical bone development, often accompanied by tumors on over half the body.
Description
Proteus Syndrome is extremely rare. Since Dr. Michael Cohen identified it in 1979, only a few more than 200 cases have been confirmed worldwide. There may be many more than this, but those individuals correctly diagnosed usually have the most obvious manifestations of Proteus syndrome, leaving them severely disfigured.
