Mazabraud syndrome in two patients: clinical overlap with McCune-Albright syndrome.

Mazabraud syndrome is a rare sporadic disorder, mainly characterized by bone fibrous dysplasia and intramuscular myxomas. We report here two new cases of Mazabraud syndrome. One of our patients (Patient 1) also had café-au-lait spots and multinodular goiter suggestive of McCune-Albright syndrome. We review the 37 previously reported cases with Mazabraud syndrome and discuss the 6/37 patients with criteria of Mazabraud and McCune-Albright syndromes. Based on the clinical overlap between the two syndromes, we tested the GNAS1 gene in blood leukocytes and skin fibroblasts of Patient 1, but found no evidence of an activating mutation in the GNAS1 gene.
