Summary

A girl developed Rothmund-Thomson syndrome with poikiloderma and photosensitivity one year after birth. This rare genetic disorder presents with varied skin and growth abnormalities, even without a family history.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Genetics
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Rothmund-Thomson syndrome is a rare genodermatosis characterized by poikiloderma atrophicans vasculare, photosensitivity, and skeletal abnormalities.
  • The syndrome exhibits significant clinical heterogeneity, making diagnosis challenging.

Observation:

  • A female infant presented with widespread telangiectasias, erythema, and poikiloderma affecting the face and limbs, sparing the trunk, one year post-normal birth.
  • The affected areas demonstrated increased photosensitivity.
  • At 3 years and 8 months, the child exhibited growth deficiency (3rd percentile), a deep nasal root, and bradydactyly.

Findings:

  • The observed cutaneous and extracutaneous features align with the spectrum of Rothmund-Thomson syndrome.
  • The absence of a positive family history highlights the potential for spontaneous mutations or recessive inheritance patterns.

Implications:

  • Early recognition of Rothmund-Thomson syndrome is crucial for managing associated complications, including growth impairment and potential malignancy risks.
  • This case underscores the importance of comprehensive evaluation for diverse genetic syndromes presenting with complex dermatological and systemic manifestations.
  • Further research into the genetic underpinnings and clinical variability of Rothmund-Thomson syndrome is warranted.
