Buschke-Ollendorff Syndrome

Edit

This entry is adapted from the peer-reviewed paper https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/buschke-ollendorff-syndrome

Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome is a hereditary disorder that primarily affects the skin and bones. Specifically, the condition is characterized by skin growths called connective tissue nevi and bone abnormalities, most commonly a pattern of increased bone density called osteopoikilosis. Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome is classified as a disorder of connective tissues, which provide support, strength, and flexibility to organs and tissues throughout the body.
