Hapnes Boman Skeie syndrome

Hapnes Boman Skeie syndrome is a rare genetic disorder first described by Sveln Hapnes et al. in 1980. It is characterized by subcutaneous angiolipomas around the wrists, knees, and ankles.[2] It is also known as "anomalous insertion of extensor tendons of fingers",[3] a name derived from the condition that the tendons of the fingers are attached in such a way that the fingers cannot open or close normally. Though the tumors extend deeply into the muscle tissue, joints, and tendons, the tumors did not invade these structures.[2]
