Abstract:
A case of Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome is presented. Hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles along with precocious destruction of the periodontal support of both the primary and permanent dentitions were observed. Ectopic intra-cranial calcified deposits, seen in some cases of the syndrome, were absent in this case. A greater awareness of this condition among dentists and dermatologists would be helpful in identifying more cases for study.
