The Proteus syndrome is a rare mosaic syndrome, characterized by regional or localized areas of excess growth compared to equivalent normal parts of the body. In this review, we summarize the etiopathogenetic mechanisms responsible for tissue overgrowth anomalies and the diagnostic criteria utilized for the correct formulation of its diagnosis.
La sindrome di Proteo (Proteus) è una rara sindrome di mosaicismo caratterizzata da aree localizzate di eccessiva crescita rispetto ad aree controlaterali normali. In questa review riassumiamo i meccanismi eziopatogenetici responsabili delle anomalie di crescita tessutale e i criteri diagnostici utilizzati per la corretta formulazione della diagnosi.
