Thrombosis risk factors in PIK3CA‐related overgrowth spectrum and Proteus syndrome

Abstract: Increased risk of thromboembolism has been recognized in individuals with mosaic overgrowth disorders, Proteus syndrome (PS) and PIK3CA‐related overgrowth spectrum (PROS), including Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome and CLOVES syndrome. PS and PROS have distinct, yet overlapping clinical findings and are caused by somatic pathogenic variants in the PI3K/AKT gene signaling pathway. PS is caused by a single somatic activating AKT1 c.49G > A p.E17K variant while PROS can be caused one of multiple variants in PIK3CA. … Show more

“…Unique surgical risks that should be disclosed to patients prior to surgery include anesthetic complications due to possible hypertrophy of palatine tonsils and an increased risk of thromboembolism. Predisposition to thrombosis in PROS is multifactorial: vascular endothelial dysfunction caused by somatic PIK3CA variants, platelet dysfunction, chronic stasis in the case of vascular malformations and impaired mobility after surgery 12 . Furthermore, although there have been no reports of malignancy in association with CILF, some cases of pediatric renal cancer have been described in children with PROS, and thus, it is recommended that serial abdominal ultrasonography every 4 months until age 8 years be considered in children with somatic PIK3CA mutations 11 …”

“…The left ovarian mass measured 14 x 11 x 5 cm and weighed 380 mg. The patient tolerated the procedure well and had an unremarkable post-operative course, during which she was placed on prophylactic enoxaparin given the increased risk of venous thromboembolism in Proteus syndrome (Keppler-Noreuil et al, 2019). She was discharged after four days and evaluated one month later in oncology clinic, where repeat CT abdomen/pelvis showed no residual disease.…”
