ICD-11 definition : Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome is a benign autosomal dominant disorder characterized
by the association of osteopoikilosis (a characteristic but functionally inconsequential
radiographic finding in bone) with hamartomata of cutaneous connective tissue in the
skin. These show abnormalities of dermal elastin and have been termed juvenile elastomata.
The changes are due to heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the LEMD3 gene.;
