A patient with extensive multisystem overgrowth caused by a somatic gain of function PIK3CA-mutation is described. This case is an example of the clinical diversity of the PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum (PROS) as the patient had overlapping features of Congenital Lipomatous Overgrowth Vascular malformations Epidermal nevi and Skeletal abnormalities (CLOVES) syndrome and Megalencephaly-Capillary malformation Polymicrogyria (MCAP) syndrome and underlines the utility of this umbrella term.
描述了一名因体细胞功能获得性PIK3CA突变导致广泛多系统过度生长的患者。该病例是PIK3CA相关过度生长谱系(PROS)临床多样性的一个例子,因为该患者具有先天性脂肪瘤过度生长、血管畸形、表皮痣和骨骼异常(CLOVES)综合征以及巨脑-毛细血管畸形-多小脑回(MCAP)综合征的重叠特征,并强调了这个总括术语的实用性。
