Diagnostic Criteria

No consensus clinical diagnostic criteria for polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL) have been published.

Suggestive Findings

PLOSL should be suspected in individuals with the following features:

Differential Diagnosis

The combination of frontal-type dementia beginning in the fourth decade and radiologically demonstrable polycystic osseous lesions makes it easy to clinically distinguish polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL) from the established forms of familial and nonfamilial frontotemporal dementia (e.g., Pick disease, nonspecific frontal lobe degeneration, CSF1R adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia, and the various entities of frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to pathogenic variants in MAPT).

Management Guidelines

No clinical practice guidelines for polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL) have been published. Evaluations Following Initial Diagnosis To establish the extent of disease and needs in an individual diagnosed with PLOSL, the evaluations summarized (if not performed as part of the evaluation that led to the diagnosis) are recommended.

Surveillance Guidelines

The interval of surveillance for bone lesions, neurologic, and psychiatric manifestations must be determined individually.
