Abstract

We report on a patient with manifestations of encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis and Proteus syndrome. Further comparison with other reported patients demonstrates a continuum, not 2 distinct entities that share common manifestations. This continuum supports the concept of somatic mosaicism. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
