[Giant papillomas of the tongue and pharynx in focal dermal hypoplasia: a case report].

Abstract

Focal dermal hypoplasia is a rare congenital syndrome with dominant X-linked mode of inheritance characterized by a wide range of meso-ectodermal anomalies. The clinical variation is great, as explained by the Lyon hypothesis and mosaicism. Findings include skin atrophy along the lines of Blaschko and papillomas. Our case is striking with rapidly-growing giant pharyngeal papillomas which caused dysphagia and required resection.
