Advances in the Treatment of Congenital Infiltrating Lipomatosis of the Face: The Role of PIK3CA Mutations and Microvascular Reconstruction.

Abstract excerpt

Recently linked with the PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum, it arises from mosaic mutations in the PIK3CA gene. Treatment, largely supportive and tailored to individual clinical presentations, requires a multidisciplinary...
