Orofacial overgrowth with peripheral nerve enlargement and perineuriomatous pseudo-onion bulb proliferations is part of the PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS)

2020 
Abstract Individuals with orofacial asymmetry due to mucosal overgrowths, ipsilateral bone and dental aberrations with perineurial hyperplasia and/or perineuriomatous pseudo-onion bulb proliferations, comprise a recognizable clinical entity. In this report, we describe three individuals with this clinical entity and mosaic PIK3CA variants, c.3140A>G; p.(His1047Arg), c.328_330delGAA; p.(Glu110del), and c.1353_1364del; p.(Glu453_Leu456del). We conclude that the identification of these mosaic variants in individuals with orofacial asymmetry presenting histopathologically perineurial hyperplasia and/or intraneural pseudo-onion bulb perineurial cell proliferations supports the inclusion of this clinical entity in the PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum.
