Acroangiodermatitis of Mali in Protein C Deficiency Due to a Novel PROC Gene Mutation

Acroangiodermatitis of Mali is a dermatologic condition of kaposiform skin lesions that has been associated with chronic venous insufficiency. Here we report a case of a 28-year-old Chinese man with acroangiodermatitis which co-existed with chronic lower limb deep vein thrombosis. Investigations revealed protein C deficiency and a frame shift mutation, c246_247dupCT, of the PROC gene. Our report lengthens the list of male acroangiodermatitis of Mali cases with a Chinese patient harboring a novel PROC mutation with manifest protein C deficiency.
