Proteus syndrome diagnostic criteriaa Individual OG194 Individual OG111
Mosaic distribution of lesions Yes Yes
Sporadic occurrence Yes Yes
Progressive course Minimalb Minimalb
(A) Cerebriform connective tissue nevus Yes Yes
(B) Linear epidermal nevus No No
(B) Asymmetric, disproportionate overgrowth Minimalb Minimalb
(B) Bilateral ovarian cystadenoma or parotid monomorphic adenoma before second decade No No
(C) Dysregulated adipose tissue Yes No
(C) Vascular malformations No No

aDiagnosis requires all three general criteria AND either one from (A), two from (B), or three from (C).
