Proteus syndrome with cardiomyopathy and a myocardial mass.
Proteus syndrome is an overgrowth syndrome principally affecting cutaneous and skeletal tissues, accompanied by subcutaneous hamartomas. We report on a patient with predominantly skeletal and visceral involvement, including a cardiac mass and thickening of the myocardial septum affecting cardiac conduction and contraction.
