The Spanish Pediatric Association (Asociación Española de Pediatría, AEP) has as one of its main objectives the dissemination of rigorous and up-to-date scientific information on the various areas of pediatrics. Annals of Pediatrics is an open access journal that serves as the Association's Scientific Expression Organ and constitutes the vehicle through which members communicate. Annals of Pediatrics publishes, in English and Spanish, original research papers on pediatrics, as well as review articles prepared by experts in each specialty, and guidelines or positioning documents prepared by the different Societies/Specialized Sections integrated into the Spanish Pediatric Association. The journal, a reference for Spanish-speaking pediatrics, is indexed in the most important international databases: Index Medicus/Medline IBECS, IME, SCOPUS, Science Citation Index Expanded, Journal Citations Report, Embase/Excerpta Medica, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).

El síndrome de Proteus es un trastorno complejo, que consiste en malformaciones del mesodermo, del esqueleto y crecimientos hamartomatosos. Se caracteriza por presentarse de forma muy variable y con distribución de las lesiones en mosaico. Los 2 casos ilustran el amplio polimorfismo del síndrome de Proteus. El segundo caso, además, presentó una fractura de pubis, la cual no se ha encontrado descrita previamente en la literatura médica sobre el síndrome de Proteus.

Palabras clave:

Síndrome de Proteus

Hemihipertrofia

Retraso mental

Fractura ósea

Proteus syndrome is a complex disorder, consisting of mesodermal and skeletal malformations as well as hamartomatous overgrowth. It is characterized by highly variable presentation and mosaic-pattern lesions. The two cases described herein illustrate the wide polymorphism of this syndrome. The second case also had a pubic fracture,which we have not previously seen reported in the medical literature on Proteus syndrome.

Key words:

Proteus syndrome

Hemihypertrophy

Mental retardation

Bone fracture
