We report a 16-year-old adolescent girl with Down syndrome who developed a slowly progressive papulonodular eruption in the inguinal area. Skin biopsy for histopathology showed foci of bony trabeculae with osteoblasts and calcium deposition in the deeper dermis. An association of such lesions with Down syndrome, and the site of involvement, has not been reported previously.
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.
