RESUMO
A 2½-year-old male child born of a nonconsanguineous marriage with high parental age presented with macrodactyly, dysmorphic features, large disfiguring lipomas, small fibromas, a linear verrucous epidermal naevus and lymphangioma circumscriptum. X-ray of hand revealed macrodystrophia lipomatosa progressiva. A lipoma and lymphangioma circumscriptum were confirmed by histopathology. The cosmetically disfiguring lipomas were excised. This is the first case report from India with the characteristic macrodactyly. This could possibly be the first case of report of a mutational disorder following intake of carbimazole during pregnancy.
RESUMO
An 18-year-old girl presented with a persistent skin eruption of 6 years duration. She had skin-coloured follicular papules involving the trunk, proximal extremities, neck and face. Histopathology revealed spongiosis of the follicular infundibulum and infiltration with lymphocytes and neutrophils. Treatment with oral vitamin A and topical retinoic acid was ineffective.
