The physical and emotional aspect of the skin condition is well known but the genetic, vascular, and neurogenic implications are of interest.

Proteus syndrome: diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, and patient evaluation.

To clarify some of these issues, a workshop on Proteus syndrome was held in March 1998 at the National Institutes of Health, and participants developed recommendations for diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, and guidelines for the evaluation of patients. This is a review of those recommendations.
