Abstract:
The authors presented skin lesions which may be observed in selected endocrinopathies in children and adolescents. Functional disturbances of endocrine glands in which skin lesions may develop are dysfunction of the adrenals, gonads in case of children, thyroid diseases and diabetes type 1. The authors presented also a detailed description of skin symptoms observed in hyperthyrosis and hypothyrosis. They emphasised that the most common form of hyperthyrosis in children and adolescents is Graves disease. Also broadly dermatological lesions which may develop in diabetes type 1 they described.
