Abstract
We report on a patient with manifestations of encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis and Proteus syndrome. Further comparison with other repor ted patients demonstrates a continuum, not 2 distinct entities that sh are common manifestations. This continuum supports the concept of soma tic mosaicism.
