Stüve-Wiedemann syndrome with multiple eruptive vellus hair cysts and clefted tongue.

ABSTRACT

Stüve-Wiedemann syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive congenital primary skeletal dysplasia, characterized by small stature, bowed long bones, joint restrictions, hyperthermic episodes, dysautonomia, and respiratory and feeding difficulties, that usually leads to early mortality. Cutaneous manifestations have rarely been reported. We report the case of a girl with Stüve-Wiedemann syndrome presenting with progressive development of multiple eruptive vellus hair cysts.
