This condition is characterized by various cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions, including vascular malformations, lipomas, hyperpigmentation, and several types of nevi. Partial gigantism with limb or digital overgrowth is pathognomonic, with an unusual body habitus and, often, cerebriform thickening of the soles of the feet. Because cutaneous lesions tend to appear over time, the diagnosis may be delayed until late infancy, childhood, or even adulthood. Orthopedic complications often pose the most challenging medical problems, although vascular complications also contribute to overall morbidity. Severe disfigurement and social stigmatization are additional challenges that must be addressed
