Excision of a large abdominal wall lipoma improved bowel passage in a Proteus syndrome patient.
[proteus syndrome]
Proteus
syndrome
is
an
extremely
rare
congenital
disorder
that
produces
multifocal
overgrowth
of
tissue
.
This
report
presents
a
surgical
case
of
a
large
lipoma
in
the
abdominal
wall
of
a
patient
with
Proteus
syndrome
.
She
was
diagnosed
with
Proteus
syndrome
based
on
certain
diagnostic
criteria
.
The
neoplasm
increased
in
size
gradually
,
producing
hemihypertrophy
of
her
left
lower
extremity
and
trunk
,
and
spread
to
her
retroperitoneum
and
her
left
abdominal
wall
.
She
experienced
gradually
progressive
constipation
,
nausea
,
vomiting
,
and
abdominal
pain
.
Computed
tomography
(
CT
)
of
the
abdomen
demonstrated
a
large
mass
in
the
subcutaneous
adipose
tissue
of
the
left
lower
abdominal
wall
which
measured
12
cm
x
8
cm
x
6
cm
in
diameter
and
encased
the
left
colon
.
This
mass
in
the
abdominal
wall
was
excised
.
The
weight
of
the
excised
mass
was
1550
g
.
The
histopathological
diagnosis
of
this
mass
was
lipoma
.
After
surgery
,
the
encasement
of
the
left
colon
was
improved
,
and
the
patient
was
able
to
move
her
bowels
twice
per
day
.
The
excision
of
the
large
lipoma
in
the
abdominal
wall
contributed
to
the
improved
bowel
passage
in
this
patient
with
Proteus
syndrome
.
