Olmsted syndrome: Report of two cases

Abstract: Olmsted syndrome is an uncommon genetic disorder with symmetrical, diffuse, transgredient, mutilating palmoplantar keratoderma and periorificial hyperkeratosis. Olmsted syndrome in a female patient is particularly rare, and we report two unrelated female patients of Olmsted syndrome, who presented with perioral hyperkeratosis and palmoplantar keratoderma. One of our patients also had woolly hair from birth and flexion contracture of a digit, while the other had pseudoainhum. There was no cardiac involvement. H… Show more

“…2 These patients develop clinical symptoms of bilateral mutilating palmoplantar keratoderma and periorifacial keratotic plaques. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Severe itching at the affected regions, impaired hair growth, hearing loss, and loss of terminal portion of the limbs, auto-amputation of digits, loss-of-bones and/or osteonecrosis are other specific features of OS. [9][10][11] There is no satisfactory treatment for this disease as different agents such as salicylic acid, urea, boric acid, shale oil, retinoic acids, corticosteroids, anti-microbial drugs, antihistamines, vitamin-E, vitamin-A and other emollients failed to improve the pathological conditions.…”

“…It should be differentiated from several genodermatoses, such as Vohwinkel syndrome (MIM 124500) and acrodermatitis enteropathica (MIM 201100). 2 Until recently, only 46 individuals with OS had been reported, 4,5 including 36 sporadic cases and four families containing ten affected individuals. The definite mode of inheritance was still uncertain, and autosomal-dominant, 6 X-linked-dominant 7 and X-linkedrecessive 8 modes of inheritance had been proposed.…”
