Diamond-Gardner syndrome, a rare condition, was diagnosed in a 13-year-old girl presenting with spontaneous bruising. Diagnosis was confirmed via a unique skin test and blood analysis showing specific coagulation factor abnormalities.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Dermatology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Diamond-Gardner syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by spontaneous, recurrent ecchymoses.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to the absence of overt coagulopathy or vascular abnormalities.

Observation:

  • A 13-year-old female presented with an erythematous, bruised lesion appearing spontaneously.
  • No underlying coagulopathy or vascular wall alterations were identified initially.

Findings:

  • A positive autologous erythrocyte 'skin-test' confirmed Diamond-Gardner syndrome.
  • Laboratory evaluation revealed elevated factor VIII levels and reduced platelet aggregation with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) stimulation.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the diagnostic utility of the autologous 'skin-test' for Diamond-Gardner syndrome.
