Abstract
Congenital lipomatous overgrowth, vascular malformations and epidermal nevi (CLOVE) syndrome is a recently delineated rare congenital disorder that comprises of vascular malformations (typically truncal), dysregulated adipose tissue, scoliosis and enlarged bony structures (typically of the legs) without progressive or distorting bony overgrowth. This recent delineation distinguishes it from Proteus syndrome, a disorder that comprises localized, progressive, postnatal overgrowth with bony distortion, dysregulated adipose tissue, cerebriform connective tissue, linear epidermal nevus, hemimegalencephaly and other manifestations1.
