Abstract: Congenital lipomatous overgrowth, vascular malformations, epidermal nevi, spinal/skeletal anomalies and/or scoliosis syndrome is a PIK3CA ‐related overgrowth spectrum presenting with congenital, asymmetric, disproportionate overgrowth associated with dysregulated adipose tissue, enlarged bony structures, and mixed primarily truncal vascular malformations. We present this case to raise awareness that very thin body habitus (lipoatrophy) contrasting with areas of overgrowth can be an important clinical feature of this syndrome and, if not recognized, can lead to unnecessary investigations.
