Buschke–Ollendorff syndrome (BOS) is a rare genetic skin disorder associated with LEMD3 that typically presents with widespread painless papules.[1][5]

It is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.[6][7] Conditions that may appear similar include tuberous sclerosis, pseudoxanthoma elasticum, neurofibroma, and lipoma, among others.[1]

Its frequency is almost 1 case per every 20,000 people, and it is equally found in both males and females.[4] It is named for Abraham Buschke and Helene Ollendorff Curth, who described the condition in one female in 1928.[1][8]
