Proteus Syndrome With a Cranial Intraosseous Lipoma

J Craniofac Surg. 2017 Nov;28(8):e771-e773. doi: 10.1097/SCS.0000000000003959.

Abstract

Intraosseous lipomas are almost exclusively seen in the long bones. Presence in the craniofacial skeleton is extremely rare. A 7-year-old male is presented with a marked craniofacial deformation from a bony tumor containing an intraosseous lipoma. This finding established a clinical diagnosis of Proteus syndrome. Given the size of the tumor, producing an extensive deformity, three-dimensional modeling was used to generate a three-dimensional printed implant. The process to achieve a successful outcome is herein described.
