| Popis: |
Proteus syndrome is a genetic condition with an estimated incidence of less than one in a million. This condition is sporadic and presents as progressive, mosaic overgrowth of different tissues. Clinical manifestations are diverse, with the reported involvement of lungs, skin, blood cells, the nervous system and bones. Gynecologic manifestations have rarely been reported in the literature. This case is the first to be reported in the literature of a woman with Proteus syndrome diagnosed in her prepubertal years and presenting at 34 years old with a cervical mass protruding from the vagina. The patient sought medical intervention only after the prolapse was advanced and symptomatic. Management of this case was surgical and consisted of vaginal hysterectomy, with vaginal suspension. |
