Proteus syndrome with renal involvement.
We report on a case of an 11 year old girl with Proteus syndrome involving both kidneys morphologically and functionally. The patient had hemihypertrophy, scoliosis, overgrowth of lower extremities, partial macrodactyly, subcutaneous lipoma, and pigmented nevi compatible with the Proteus syndrome. She also had overgrowth of the right kidney with mildly impaired function and a small left kidney with severe dysfunction. Morphological involvement of visceral organs has previously been described; however, deteriorating renal function has not previously been reported in this syndrome.
