An 8-year-old girl presented to us with skin-coloured to yellowish soft compressible papules, intermixed with hypopigmented and hyperpigmented macules in a Blaschkoid pattern, and 'lobster-claw deformity' affecting her bilateral feet. Additional examination findings included short stature, facial asymmetry, low-set ears, hypodontia, enamel hypoplasia, tonsillar enlargement and spina-bifida occulta at S1-3 vertebral level. A diagnosis of Goltz syndrome was suspected clinically, which was confirmed on skin biopsy. Her father also had hypopigmented and hyperpigmented macules in a Blaschkoid distribution, 'lobster-claw' deformity and kyphoscoliosis. None of the other family members were affected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
