1

Most common fracture locations included ribs/clavicle, femur/pelvis, followed by back/vertebral compression fractures leading to height loss. Fractures were often characterized as “slow-healing”.

2

Subject previously treated outside and presented to NIH with metastatic disease following persistent disease after amputation

3

Low bone mineral density refers to either a Z-score of ≤ −2.0 when the study was performed at NIH or as reported in referral data.

4

Ankle edema (bilateral or unilateral) was an unexplained, but surprisingly common finding among patients who otherwise had no evidence of heart failure or renal insufficiency.

5

Subject previously treated outside, presented to NIH with recurrent disease, and eventually developed pulmonary metastases

6

Subject previously treated outside and presented to NIH locally persistent

7

Patient presented with clinical features consistent with Cowden syndrome however PTEN mutation testing was negative.
