[Acrodysostosis: an autosomal inherited form of peripheral dysostosis]

We report a 13-year-old boy with peripheral dysostosis, nasal hypoplasia, brachydactyly and a tracheal stenosis of unknown origin. Acrodysostosis is usually caused by an autosomal gene, but in this case it was probably due to a new mutation. The frequently described mental retardation is not essential feature. Ectopic calcification has not been previously reported.
