Overview
Bannayan-Zonana syndrome is a rare hamartomatous disorder with occurrence of multiple subcutaneous lipomas, macrocephaly and hemangiomas.
Historical Perspective
Classification
Pathophysiology
- Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS) is transmitted in autosomal dominant pattern, but sporadic cases have been reported.
- The disease belongs to a family of hamartomatous polyposis syndromes, which also includes Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, juvenile polyposis and Cowden syndrome.
- It is understood that Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS) is the result caused by the following gene mutations:[1][2][3]
- Germline phosphatase and
- Tensin homolog (PTEN) mutations.
- Patients who have Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS), have a positive association with PTEN mutations in 55 to 60 % of cases.[4]
- PTEN track backs to 10q23 and encodes and plays a significant role in the following:[5]
- Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate, a phospholipid in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway
- Effects G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis
- Cellular proliferation and
- Migration

Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome is approximately 1 per 200,000 individuals worldwide.[6][7]
Age
- Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome commonly affects individuals of younger age.[8][9]
- The median age for Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome diagnosis is as young as five years.
Risk Factors
Screening
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Most lesions of BZS are slowly growing and easily resectable. Visceral as well as intracranial involvement may occur in rare cases, and can cause bleeding and symptomatic mechanical compression, especially of the spinal cord or spinal nerve roots. This may require surgical resection.
Diagnosis
Diagnostic Criteria
History and Symptoms
Physical Examination
HEENT
- Macrocephaly
- Downslanting palpebral fissures of the eyes
- Strabismus
- Amblyopia
- Penile lentigines
Neck
- Thyromegaly-Hashimoto thyroiditis
Abdomen
- Hamartomatous polyps in gastrointestinal tract
The macroencephaly of BZS is symmetrical, and does not cause widening of the ventricles or raised ICP (intracerebral pressure).
