Buschke–Ollendorff syndrome

Buschke–Ollendorff sign
Other names: Dermatofibrosis lenticularis disseminata[1]
Buschke–Ollendorff syndrome has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance.
SpecialtyDermatology
SymptomsWidespread small bumps in skin[2]
ComplicationsOtosclerosis[1]
Usual onsetChildren, adolescence[1]
CausesMutations in the LEMD3 gene.[3]
Diagnostic methodX-ray, ultrasound[4]
Differential diagnosisTuberous sclerosis, pseudoxanthoma elasticum, neurofibroma, lipoma[1]
TreatmentSurgery for hearing loss(or complications)[5]
PrognosisTypically benign[1]
FrequencyRare[1]

Buschke–Ollendorff syndrome (BOS) is an inherited skin condition that presents with widespread small bumps, some of which merge to form thicker areas.[2] The trunk and limbs are most frequently affected.[2]

It is a genetic disorder associated with LEMD3.[6][7] It is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.[2] In a very few, X-rays may show several areas of compact bone.[1] Conditions that may appear similar include tuberous sclerosis, pseudoxanthoma elasticum, neurofibroma, and lipoma, among others.[1]

The condition is rare.[7] Its frequency is almost 1 case per every 20,000 people, and it is equally found in both males and females.[5] It is named for Abraham Buschke and Helene Ollendorff Curth, who described it in 1928.[6][8]

Signs and symptoms

The signs and symptoms of this condition are consistent with the following (possible complications include aortic stenosis and hearing loss[3][5]):

Pathogenesis

Buschke–Ollendorff syndrome is caused by one important factor: mutations in the LEMD3 gene (12q14), located on chromosome 12.

Among the important aspects of Buschke–Ollendorff syndrome condition, genetically speaking are:[9][10][11]

Bone Cells
  • LEMD3 (protein) referred also as MAN1, is an important protein in inner nuclear membrane.
  • LEMD3 gene gives instructions for producing protein that controls signaling for transforming growth factor-beta.
  • LEMD3 gene helps in the bone morphogenic protein pathway
  • Both of the above pathways help grow new bone cells
  • BMP and TGF-β pathways controls SMADs proteins, which then bind to DNA
  • LEMD3 once mutated, causes a reduction of the protein, which in turn causes excess of the above two pathways.

Diagnosis

Microscope with stained slide (histological specimen)
Histopathology of BOS.[12]

The diagnosis of this condition can be ascertained via several techniques one such method is genetic testing, as well as:[3][4]

  • X-ray
  • Ultrasound
  • Histological test

Differential diagnosis

The differential diagnosis for an individual believed to have Buschke–Ollendorff syndrome is the following:[4]

Treatment

In terms of the treatment of Buschke–Ollendorff syndrome, should the complication of aortic stenosis occur then surgery may be required. [5]

Treatment for hearing loss may also require surgical intervention.[5]
